Gene information for SOX18 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID54345
Official gene symbolSOX18
Full nameSRY (sex determining region Y)-box 18
Aliases,HLTS,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the SOX (SRY-related HMG-box) family of transcription factors involved in the regulation of embryonic development and in the determination of the cell fate. The encoded protein may act as a transcriptional regulator after forming a protein complex with other proteins. This protein plays a role in hair, blood vessel, and lymphatic vessel development. Mutations in this gene have been associated with recessive and dominant forms of hypotrichosis-lymphedema-telangiectasia. [provided by RefSeq]
