Transcription factor SOX-10 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SOX10 gene.[1][2][3][4]

This 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 activator after forming a protein complex with other proteins. This protein acts as a nucleocytoplasmic shuttle protein and is important for neural crest and peripheral nervous system development. Mutations in this gene are associated with Waardenburg-Shah and Waardenburg-Hirschsprung disease.[4]

In melanocytic cells there is evidence that SOX10 gene expression may be regulated by MITF.[5]

Interactions

SOX10 has been shown to interact with PAX3.[6][7]
