WormBase ID: WBGene00004771 WormBase description: Is an ortholog of several human genes including SOX11 (SRY-box transcription factor 11); SOX12 (SRY-box transcription factor 12); and SOX4 (SRY-box transcription factor 4). Is predicted to have DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Is involved in several processes, including cell fate specification; positive regulation of oviposition; and positive regulation of vulval development. Localizes to nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including E lineage cell; M.v nucleus; RMH; body wall muscle cell from M lineage; and neuroblasts. Human ortholog(s) of this gene are implicated in several diseases, including 46 XY gonadal dysgenesis; PCWH syndrome; and Waardenburg's syndrome (multiple). |
Reporter verification: Whole-genome sequencing indicated that the GFP tags another TF, SEM-2 rather thanLAG-1 |
