SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 15

Symbol

SOX15 (may also be known as: None)

Organism

Human

Description

This gene encodes a member of the SOX (SRY-related HMG-box) family of transcription factors involved in the regulation of embryonic development and in the determination of the cell fate. The encoded protein may act as a transcriptional regulator after forming a protein complex with other proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
