- SOX2
SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 2, also known as SOX2, is a
transcription factor that is essential to maintain self-renewal of undifferentiated embryonicstem cell s.This intronless gene encodes a member of the
SRY -related HMG-box (SOX) family of transcription factors involved in the regulation of embryonic development and in the determination of cell fate. The encoded protein may act as a transcriptional activator after forming a protein complex with other proteins. Mutations in this gene have been associated with bilateralanophthalmia , a severe form of structural eye malformation. This gene lies within an intron of another gene called SOX2 overlapping transcript (SOX2OT ).cite web | title = Entrez Gene: SOX2 SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 2| url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=6657| accessdate = ]The ectopic expression of SOX2 may be related to abnormal differentiation of
