Rabbit Anti-SOX6/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Sox genes comprise a family of genes that are related to the mammalian sex determining gene SRY. These genes similarly contain sequences that encode for the HMG-box domain, which is responsible for the sequence-specific DNA-binding activity. Sox genes encode putative transcriptional regulators implicated in the decision of cell fates during development and the control of diverse developmental processes. The highly complex group of Sox genes cluster at least 40 different loci that rapidly diverged in various animal lineages. At present, 30 Sox genes have been identified. Members of this family have been shown to be conserved during evolution and to play key roles during animal development. Some are involved in human diseases, including sex reversal.
Function:
Transcriptional activator. Binds specifically to the DNA sequence 5'-AACAAT-3'. Plays a key role in several developmental processes, including neurogenesis and skeleton formation.
Subunit:
Interacts with DAZAP2
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in a wide variety of tissues, most abundantly in skeletal muscle.
Post-translational modifications:
Sumoylation inhibits the transcriptional activity.
Similarity:
Contains 1 HMG box DNA-binding domain.
