Anti-SOX2 Antibody Picoband®

SRY (sex determining region Y) -box 2, also known as SOX2, is a transcription factor that is essential for maintaining self-renewal, or pluripotency of undifferentiated embryonic stem cells. Sox2 is a member of the Sox family of transcription factors, which have been shown to play key roles in many stages of mammalian development. This gene is mapped to 3q26.33. It is found that SOX2 can regulate OCT3/4 expression and maintains ES pluripotency through upstream transcription factors. SOX2 is identified as a lineage-survival oncogene in lung and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. In addition to those, SOX2 has a critical role in maintenance of embryonic and neural stem cells and holds great promise in research involving induced pluripotency, an emerging and very promising field of regenerative medicine.

Cytokine with a wide variety of biological functions. It is a potent inducer of the acute phase response. Plays an essential role in the final differentiation of B-cells into Ig- secreting cells Involved in lymphocyte and monocyte differentiation. Acts on B-cells, T-cells, hepatocytes, hematopoietic progenitor cells and cells of the CNS. Required for the generation of T (H) 17 cells. Also acts as a myokine. It is discharged into the bloodstream after muscle contraction and acts to increase the breakdown of fats and to improve insulin resistance. It induces myeloma and plasmacytoma growth and induces nerve cells differentiation (By similarity) . .
