Gene information for SOX12 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6666
Official gene symbolSOX12
Full nameSRY (sex determining region Y)-box 12
Aliases,SOX22,
Gene summaryMembers of the SOX family of transcription factors are characterized by the presence of a DNA-binding high mobility group (HMG) domain, homologous to the HMG box of sex-determining region Y (SRY). Forming a subgroup of the HMG domain superfamily, SOX proteins have been implicated in cell fate decisions in a diverse range of developmental processes. SOX transcription factors have diverse tissue-specific expression patterns during early development and have been proposed to act as target-specific transcription factors and/or as chromatin structure regulatory elements. The protein encoded by this gene was identified as a SOX family member based on conserved domains and its expression in various tissues suggests a role in both differentiation and maintenance of several cell types.
