Target
-
Function
Transcription factor that forms a trimeric complex with OCT4 on DNA and controls the expression of a number of genes involved in embryonic development such as YES1, FGF4, UTF1 and ZFP206 (By similarity). Critical for early embryogenesis and for embryonic stem cell pluripotency. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in SOX2 are the cause of microphthalmia syndromic type 3 (MCOPS3) [MIM:206900]. Microphthalmia is a clinically heterogeneous disorder of eye formation, ranging from small size of a single eye to complete bilateral absence of ocular tissues (anophthalmia). In many cases, microphthalmia/anophthalmia occurs in association with syndromes that include non-ocular abnormalities. MCOPS3 is characterized by the rare association of malformations including uni- or bilateral anophthalmia or microphthalmia, and esophageal atresia with trachoesophageal fistula. -
Sequence similarities
Contains 1 HMG box DNA-binding domain. -
Post-translational
modificationsSumoylation inhibits binding on DNA and negatively regulates the FGF4 transactivation. -

Ab92494 staining SOX2 in the F9 (mouse embryonal carcinoma) cell line by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence). Cells were fixed with 4% PFA, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton-X. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/200). An Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated Goat anti-Rabbit IgG, Ab150077 (1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody. Counterstained with Ab7291 anti-Tubulin (1/1000), Ab150120 AlexaFluor®594 Goat anti-Mouse secondary (1/1000). DAPI was used as a nuclear counter stain.

ab92494 staining SOX2 in primary hippocampal rat neurons/glia, (obtained from Neuromics, cat. no. PC35101), DIV14. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1%PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at 4°C with ab92494 at 1/100 dilution and ab7291, Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with ab150081, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150120, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).
Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.

Transient Wnt and FGF signalling induce dual fated mouse neuromesodermal progenitors.
Immunostaining of cells treated with FGF/Wnt revealed the coexpression of Brachyury with Sox2 (NMPs). In the absence of Wnt, NPCs express Sox2 but the expression of Brachyury is only evident in a very small proportion of cells.

SOX2 immunostaining in sagittal maxillary incisor sections from E12 (A-D), E13 (E-H), E14 (I-L), and E15 (M-P) embryos.
At E13, strong SOX2 staining was seen in the lingual region of the epithelial dental lamina in all mice (E, G & H) except for the Usag-1+/+/Runx2-/- mice, in which SOX2 was found throughout the dental lamina (F). At E15, strong SOX2 staining was seen in the additional lingual bud in the Usag-1+/+/Runx2-/- mice (N).
