Human Gene SOX6 (ENST00000396356.7) from GENCODE V44
Description: Homo sapiens SRY-box transcription factor 6 (SOX6), transcript variant 2, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_033326) RefSeq Summary (NM_033326): This gene encodes a member of the D subfamily of sex determining region y-related transcription factors that are characterized by a conserved DNA-binding domain termed the high mobility group box and by their ability to bind the minor groove of DNA. The encoded protein is a transcriptional activator that is required for normal development of the central nervous system, chondrogenesis and maintenance of cardiac and skeletal muscle cells. The encoded protein interacts with other family members to cooperatively activate gene expression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]. Gencode Transcript: ENST00000396356.7 Gencode Gene: ENSG00000110693.19 Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg38 chr11:15,966,449-16,476,388 Size: 509,940 Total Exon Count: 16 Strand: - Coding Region Position: hg38 chr11:15,972,809-16,341,248 Size: 368,440 Coding Exon Count: 15
ID:SOX6_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Transcription factor SOX-6; FUNCTION: Transcriptional activator. Binds specifically to the DNA sequence 5'-AACAAT-3'. Plays a key role in several developmental processes, including neurogenesis and skeleton formation. SUBUNIT: Interacts with DAZAP2 (By similarity). INTERACTION: O15266:SHOX; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-3505706, EBI-3505698; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in a wide variety of tissues, most abundantly in skeletal muscle. PTM: Sumoylation inhibits the transcriptional activity. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 HMG box DNA-binding domain. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=BC037866; Type=Frameshift; Positions=505;
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
