Function

This intronless gene encodes a member of the group C SOX (SRY-related HMG-box) transcription factor family involved in the regulation of embryonic development and in the determination of the cell fate. The encoded protein may act as a transcriptional regulator after forming a protein complex with other proteins. The protein may function in the developing nervous system and play a role in tumorigenesis and adult neurogenesis.^[7][8] Tuj1 and Tead2 are suggested as direct target of Sox11.^[9][10][11]

Clinical aspect

Lymphocyte staining for SOX11 immunohistochemistry indicates mantle cell lymphoma (cyclin D1 positive and negative) rather than other mature lymphoid neoplasms or normal lymphocytes.^[12]

Mutations in SOX11 are associated with Coffin–Siris syndrome^[13] and mantle cell lymphoma.^[14]
