Anti-SOX11, clone SOX11/3235R

1 mg/ml in 1X PBS, BSA free, sodium azide free. Recognizes a protein of ~47kDa, identified as SOX11. This MAb is highly specific and does not cross-react with other members of the SOX-family. Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) accounts for 5% to 10% of mature B-cell neoplasms and is an aggressive disease genetically characterized by overexpression of Cyclin D1. Cyclin D1 overexpression is the hallmark of MCL. However, approximately 5%-10% of MCLs lack Cyclin D1 expression and may be misdiagnosed. Almost all Cyclin D1-positive as well as Cyclin D1-negative MCL, show overexpression of SOX-11. The detection of this transcription factor is a useful biomarker for identifying true cyclin D1-negative MCL. Protein function: Transcription factor that acts as a transcriptional activator (PubMed:24886874). Binds cooperatively with POU3F2/BRN2 or POU3F1/OCT6 to gene promoters, which enhances transcriptional activation. Acts as a transcriptional activator of TEAD2 by binding to its gene promoter and first intron. Plays a redundant role with SOX4 and SOX12 in cell survival of developing tissues such as the neural tube, branchial arches and somites, thereby contributing to organogenesis. [The UniProt Consortium]
