SOX6 Rabbit anti-Human, Mouse, Polyclonal, Invitrogen™

Description

The SOX gene family is defined by the Sry-related HMG box domain that mediates sequence-specific DNA binding. A variety of functions are associated with the SOX proteins during development. SOX6 is believed to regulate embryonic development and determine cell fate. Mouse SOX6 is expressed in the CNS during embryogenesis, but this expression decreases significantly in the adult CNS. In humans, SOX6 is expressed in fetal brain and in gliomas but only at very low levels in the adult brain. A direct link between SOX6 expression and maligcy has not been demonstrated, so SOX6 probably does not promote proliferation, but it may induce transformation activity in the early stage of oncogenesis in gliomas.
