    PROTEIN
    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • DNA binding protein with an high mobility group (HMG) domain, C subfamily
  • a transactivation domain in the carboxyl terminus (transcription activation)
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to C.elegans t06e.11
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • SRY-related HMG box family of transcription factor
  • SOXC family that includes SOX11 and SOX4
  • CATEGORY transcription factor
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,nucleus,chromatin/chromosome
    basic FUNCTION
  • modulator of LINE retroposons promoter activity
  • TMED3 and SOX12 belong to different families involved in protein secretion and transcriptional regulation, but both promote endogenous WNT-TCF activity
  • TMED3 and SOX12 are required for efficient clonogenic behavior but only TMED3 for clone compaction
  • TMED3 and SOX12 have novel metastatic suppressive functions in human colon cancer cells
  • unlike TMED3, SOX12 is a multifunctional nuclear transcription factor that promotes CTNNB1/TCF activity
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation

  • Sox12-deficient mice developed surprisingly normally, so that they were born alive, showed no gross phenotypic abnormalities, and were fertile in both sexes
