About Sox17

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the Sox (Sry-related high mobility group box) family of transcription factors involved in the regulation of embryonic development. The encoded protein plays a role in the determination of cell fate and in maintaining cell identity. This gene regulates tumor angiogenesis and tumor progression. Mutations in the human gene are associated with vesicoureteral reflux, characterized by the backward flow of urine from the bladder into the ureters or the kidney. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]
