This intronless gene encodes 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 the cell fate. The encoded protein may act as a transcriptional regulator after forming a protein complex with other proteins. The protein may function in the developing nervous system and play a role in tumorigenesis.,SOX11,MRD27,Epigenetics & Nuclear Signaling,Transcription Factors,Cancer,Tumor biomarkers,Neuroscience,Stem Cells,Neural Stem Cells,SOX11
