SOX2 Antibody

SRY (sex determining region Y) -box 2 is a transcription factor that is essential for maintaining self-renewal, or pluripotency of undifferentiated embryonic stem cells. The protein is a member of the Sox family of transcription factors, which have been shown to play key roles in many stages of mammalian development. It was found that SOX2 can regulate OCT3/4 expression and maintains ES pluripotency through upstream transcription factors. It is identified as a lineage-survival oncogene in lung and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. In addition to those, it has a critical role in maintenance of embryonic and neural stem cells and holds great promise in research involving induced pluripotency, an emerging and very promising field of regenerative medicine.
