  • Transcription factor SOX2
Background InformationTranscription factor SOX-2 (UniProt P48431; also known as Sex determining region Y-box 2, SRY-related HMG-box gene 2, Transcription factor SOX2) is encoded by the SOX2 (also known as ANOP3, MCOPS3) gene (Gene ID 6657) in human. Sox family of genes are related to the mammalian sex determining gene SRY. These genes contain sequences coding the HMG-box domains that mediate sequence-specific DNA binding. Sox genes encode transcriptional regulators involved in cell fate decision during development and the control of diverse developmental processes. The highly complex group of SOX genes cluster at at least 40 genomic loci and at least 30 SOX genes have been identified. Sox2 plays an essential role in maintaining the pluripotency and self-renewal of undifferentiated embryonic stem cells.
