Sox2 (Transcription Factor SOX-2, Sox2, Sox-2)

Antibodies / Antibodies-Transcription Factors

-20°C

Supplied as a liquid in PBS, 0.09% sodium azide.

KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between aa6ca.39 at the N-terminal region of mouse sox2.

Transcription factor that forms a trimeric complex with OCT4 on DNA and controls the expression of a number of genes involved in embryonic development such as YES1, FGF4, UTF1 and ZFP206. Critical for early embryogenesis and for embryonic stem cell pluripotency. May function as a switch in neuronal development. Downstream SRRT target that mediates the promotion of neural stem cell self-renewal. Keeps neural cells undifferentiated by counteracting the activity of proneural proteins and suppresses neuronal differentiation (By similarity).
