Description
Description: Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for Transcription factor SOX-2(SOX2) detection. Tested with WB, IHC-P in Human, Mouse, Rat.
Background: SRY(sex determining region Y)-box 2, also known as SOX2, is a transcription factor that is essential for maintaining self-renewal, or pluripotency of undifferentiated embryonic stem cells. Sox2 is a member of the Sox family of transcription factors, which have been shown to play key roles in many stages of mammalian development. This gene is mapped to 3q26.33. It is found that SOX2 can regulate OCT3/4 expression and maintains ES pluripotency through upstream transcription factors. SOX2 is identified as a lineage-survival oncogene in lung and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. In addition to those, SOX2 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
