Anti-SOX15

This 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008], Protein function: Transcription factor that binds to DNA at the 5'-AACAATG-3' consensus sequence. Acts as a transcriptional activator and repressor. Binds synergistically with POU5F1 (OCT3/4) to gene promoters. Binds to the FOXK1 promoter and recruits FHL3, resulting in transcriptional activation of FOXK1 which leads to myoblast proliferation. Acts as an inhibitor of myoblast differentiation via transcriptional repression which leads to down-regulation of the muscle-specific genes MYOD and MYOG. Involved in trophoblast giant cell differentiation via enhancement of HAND1 transcriptional activity. Regulates transcription of HRC via binding to it proximal enhancer region. Involved in skeletal muscle regeneration. Also plays a role in the development of myogenic precursor cells. [The UniProt Consortium] Recommended dilutions: WB 1:500-2000 ELISA 1:5000-20000.
