Anti-SOX4

Application

Anti-SOX4 polyclonal antibody is used to tag SRγ (sex determining region γ)-box 4 for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of SRγ (sex determining region γ)-box 4 in cell differentiation and proliferation, such as B-cell differentitation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

SRY box 4 (SOX4) is required for differentiation and proliferation in many tissues, including various cancers. It stabilizes β-catenin. Sox4 is essential for lymphocyte development. It acts as an early factor in B-cell differentiation. SOX4 is involved in the regulation of embryonic development and the determination of cell fate. It acts as a transcriptional regulator after forming syndecan binding protein (syntenin), a protein complex. SOX4 modulates the apoptosis pathway, which leads to cell death and tumorigenesis. It regulates downstream effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and PTH-related protein (PTHrP) in bone development.

General description

SRY (sex determining region Y) (SOX) are high-mobility-group (HMG) box containing transcription factors, that binds to the minor groove of DNA. SRY box 4 (SOX4) is a member of the SOX family of transcription factors. It is expressed majorly in normal and neoplastic gut tissues. SOX4 gene is located on human chromosome 6p22.3.

SRγ (sex determining region γ) (SOX) are HMG box containing transcription factors that bind to the minor groove of DNA. Sox proteins family members regulate a variety of aspects of development. SRγ (sex determining region γ)-box 4 (SOX4, EVI16, SRγ) is required for differentiation and proliferation in many tissues, including various cancers. Sox4 acts in part by stabilizing β-catenin. Sox4 is required for lymphocyte development. It is an early factor in B-cell differentiation.
