Gene: SOX4
Alternate names for this Gene: CSS10|EVI16
Gene Summary: This intronless 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, such as syndecan binding protein (syntenin). The protein may function in the apoptosis pathway leading to cell death as well as to tumorigenesis and may mediate downstream effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and PTH-related protein (PTHrP) in bone development. The solution structure has been resolved for the HMG-box of a similar mouse protein.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 6
Location in Chromosome : 6p22.3
Description of this Gene: SRY-box transcription factor 4
Type of Gene: protein-coding
