SOX genes

SOX genes
[SRY (sex-determining region Y)-box] a family of genes encoding transcription factors that contain a DNA-binding sequence similar to the HMG box of the SRY gene; they are important in the formation of tissues and organs during embryonic development, and also maintain the normal function of certain cells after birth. By convention, written Sox g's for nonhuman animals.
