About Sox3

Summary

Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including diencephalon development; face development; and sex determination. Acts upstream of or within animal organ development and spermatid differentiation. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; branchial arch; early conceptus; embryo ectoderm; and gonad. Used to study hydrocephalus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in X-linked panhypopituitarism. Orthologous to human SOX3 (SRY-box transcription factor 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
