Homo sapiens

Also known as SOXD; HSSOX6; TOLCAS

Gene ID: 55553 | Gene type: protein coding

About SOX6

Cytogenetic location: 11p15.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 11:15,966,449-16,738,477 (from NCBI)

This gene has 19 transcripts (splice variants), 211 orthologues, 20 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Broad expression in brain (RPKM 4.6), kidney (RPKM 4.5) and 23 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the D subfamily of sex determining region y-related transcription factors that are characterized by a conserved DNA-binding domain termed the high mobility group box and by their ability to bind the minor groove of DNA. The encoded protein is a transcriptional activator that is required for normal development of the central nervous system, chondrogenesis and maintenance of cardiac and skeletal muscle cells. The encoded protein interacts with other family members to cooperatively activate gene expression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
