General description

Sox4 is a protein transcription factor belonging to a family of transcription factors consisting of well over 14 members and 7 different subgroups. Members of the Sox family are characterized by DNA binding domains showing strong similarity to HMG box domains.
Proteins belonging to the Sox family are involved in various phases of embryonic development including; neural development, hemopoiesis, lens development, chondrogenesis, and sex determination as well as cell fate. Sox4 is a part of the C subgroup of Sox proteins, and is involved in B cell and endocardial ridge development. During embryonic development, Sox4 expression has been observed in several tissues including; lung, gonads, embryonic heart, mesonephros, CNS, thymus, tooth buds, and T and pre-B cells. Sox4 has also been observed in mature tissue, especially in the pancreas, heart, lung, CHS, thymus, and gonads. Recent studies have linked overexpression of Sox4 to the development of various types of tumors and cancers, and indicating a potential for Sox4 as a therapeutic marker.

The previously assigned protein identifier Q5SW95 has been merged into Q06831. Full details can be found on the UniProt database.

The co-emergence of a six-layered cerebral neocortex and its corticospinal output system is one of the evolutionary hallmarks of mammals. However, the genetic programs that underlie their development and evolution remain poorly understood. Here we identify a conserved non-exonic element
