Name | SOX18 |
---|---|
Function | Transcriptional activator that binds to the consensus sequence 5'-AACAAAG-3' in the promoter of target genes and plays an essential role in embryonic cardiovascular development and lymphangiogenesis. Activates transcription of PROX1 and other genes coding for lymphatic endothelial markers. Plays an essential role in triggering the differentiation of lymph vessels, but is not required for the maintenance of differentiated lymphatic endothelial cells. Plays an important role in postnatal angiogenesis, where it is functionally redundant with SOX17. Interaction with MEF2C enhances transcriptional activation. Besides, required for normal hair development. |
Cellular Location | Nucleus {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00267}. |
Tissue Location | Detected in heart, lung, placenta, skeletal muscle, liver, kidney, spleen, prostate, ovary, msosmall intestine and colon |

Background
SOX18 is 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 cell fate (1,2). SOX18 is part of the SoxF subgroup which plays an important role in the differentiation of different cell types (3). SOX is known to be involved with vascularization and endothelial development, suggesting that it may be useful as a potential target for inhibiting tumor angiogenesis (4). Mutations in this gene have been associated with recessive and dominant forms of hypotrichosis-lymphedema-telangiectasia (5).
