SOX2

Gene
SOX2
Protein
Transcription factor SOX-2
Organism
Ovis aries
Length
320 amino acids
Function
Transcription factor that forms a trimeric complex with OCT4 on DNA and controls the expression of a number of genes involved in embryonic development such as YES1, FGF4, UTF1 and ZFP206. Critical for early embryogenesis and for embryonic stem cell pluripotency (By similarity). May function as a switch in neuronal development. Downstream SRRT target that mediates the promotion of neural stem cell self-renewal (By similarity). Keeps neural cells undifferentiated by counteracting the activity of proneural proteins and suppresses neuronal differentiation (By similarity).

Function
Transcriptional activator. May function as a switch in neuronal development. Downstream SRRT target that mediates the promotion of neural stem cell self-renewal (By similarity). Keeps neural cells undifferentiated by counteracting the activity of proneural proteins and suppresses neuronal differentiation. In cooperation with other transcription factors, binds to the promoter sequence of the crystallin gene to activate transcription in the lens. Binds to the consensus DNA sequence 5'-TCATTGTTGTTG-3'.
