Gene Information

human ... SOX2(6657)

General description

Sox2 (sex determining region Y (SRY)-box 2) is one of the 20 human SOX transcription factors, which are characterized by the highly conserved ∼80-residues DNA-binding HMG (high-mobility group) domain. This domain was initially identified in the testis-determining factor Sry.
Recombinant human Sox2 is a 34.3 kDa protein containing 317 amino-acid residues.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sox2 (sex determining region Y (SRY)-box 2) transcription factor participates in maintaining self-renewal and pluripotency of embryonic stem cells. The expression of this protein is aberrant in various human malignancies, and it acts as an oncogene in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). SOX2 promotes proilferation, migration and adhesion abilities of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), and this might have applications in tissue engineering. It participates in Ewing′s sarcoma cell proliferation, and its inactivation results in apoptosis and G1/S arrest, in a PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase)/Akt pathway-mediated manner.

Physical form

Lyophilized from 10 mM Sodium Acetate, pH 6.0.

Reconstitution

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1- 1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.

Sox2 is a master transcriptional regulator of embryonic development. In this study, we determined the protein interactome of Sox2 in the chromatin and nucleoplasm of mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells. Apart from canonical interactions with pluripotency-regulating transcription factors, we identified
