Gene information for SOX5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6660
Official gene symbolSOX5
Full nameSRY (sex determining region Y)-box 5
Aliases,L-SOX5,MGC35153,
Gene summaryThis 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. The encoded protein may play a role in chondrogenesis. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 8. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
