Background

SOX1 (SRY-Box Transcription Factor 1) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with SOX1 include Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome and Bilateral Hypoactive Labyrinth. Among its related pathways are ERK Signaling and Neural Stem Cells and Lineage-specific Markers. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include DNA-binding transcription factor activity and core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding. An important paralog of this gene is SOX3. Transcriptional activator. May function as a switch in neuronal development. Keeps neural cells undifferentiated by counteracting the activity of proneural proteins and suppresses neuronal differentiation (By similarity). ( SOX1_HUMAN,O00570 )
