Data Sheet Data Sheet Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)

The pluripotency-associated master transcriptional regulator SOX2 is essential during mammalian embryogenesis, embryonic stem cell maintenance and later in life, however SOX2 expression can also be highly detrimental. SOX2 has been shown to be expressed in at least 25 different cancers, consequently, too little or too much SOX2 can dramatically alter tumour growth. SOX2 is therefore tightly regulated at the transcriptional level, by microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and post-translational modifications.

SOX2 represses the expression of pro-apoptotic molecules that mediate cell death following oncogene withdrawal in these cells. The induction of SOX2 results from the activation of FOXO6, a forkhead family transcription factor following EGFR inhibition. SOX2 may therefore be a valuable target for cancer therapy.
