Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in interneuron migration; regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; generation of neurons; and lens morphogenesis in camera-type eye. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; large intestine; and neural ectoderm. Orthologous to human SOX1 (SRY-box transcription factor 1).

What's a GeneRIF?

Study shows that Sox1 is a master cell identity factor: the induction of its endogenous gene copy restores the neuronal differentiation potential of glial progenitor cells. Moreover, chromatin features, in particular, DNA methylation at its promoter, tightly control the capability of Sox1 to be trans-activated.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
