Transcription factor SOX-2 (SOX-2) is a member of the SRY-related HMG-box (SOX) family of transcription factors involved in the regulation of embryonic development and in the determination of cell fate. Mutations in this gene have been associated with bilateral anophthalmia, a severe form of structural eye malformation. When SOX-2 is expressed in self renewing progenitor cells, it acts to inhibit neuronal differentiation. Conversely, active repression of SOX-2 induces neural differentiation.
Specificity
Rabbit polyclonal anti-SOX2 antibody recognizes human, mouse, rat sex-determining region Y-box 2 transcription factors.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to residues 32-47 of human SOX2.
Rabbit polyclonal anti-SOX2 antibody is used to tag solute sex-determining region Y-box 2 transcription factor for detection and quantitation by immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques, such as immunoblotting (~37 kDa) and flow cytometry. It is used as a probe to determine the presence and roles of sex-determining region Y-box 2 transcription factor in progenitor cell self renewal and differentiation.
Physical form
solution in phosphate buffered saline, containing 0.02% sodium azide.

Since 2005, sex determining region y-box 2 (SOX2) has drawn the attention of the scientific community for being one of the key transcription factors responsible for pluripotency induction in somatic stem cells. Our research investigated the turnover regulation of SOX2
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been involved in the maintenance, progression and relapse of several tumors, but their origin is still elusive. Here, in vitro transformed human fibroblasts (cen3tel cells) and the tumorsphere assay were used to search for and
Studies of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) commonly describe the nonfunctional p53-p21 axis of the G1/S checkpoint pathway with subsequent relevance for cell cycle regulation and the DNA damage response (DDR). Importantly, p21 mRNA is clearly present and upregulated after

Adenomyosis is a proliferative uterine dysfunction with unknown aetiology. One possible mechanism of its development involves disturbances in stem cell differentiation in uterine tissue. Previously, we identified pluripotent/multipotent cells in the bovine uterus, therefore our present study focused on determining
The aim of this study was to identify uterine pluripotent cells both in bovine uterine tissues as well in epithelial, stromal, and myometrial uterine cell populations. Moreover, the relationship of pluripotent markers expression with age and the uterine horn side
