Target Information
Target NameTranscription Factor Sox-18Database LinksSOX18_HUMAN ; Gene ID: 54345About TargetTissue Specificity: Detected in heart, lung, placenta, skeletal muscle, liver, kidney, spleen, prostate, ovary, msosmall intestine and colon.
Function: Transcriptional activator that binds to the consensus sequence 5'-AACAAAG-3' in the promoter of target genes and plays an essential role in embryonic cardiovascular development and lymphangiogenesis. Activates transcription of PROX1 and other genes coding for lymphatic endothelial markers. Plays an essential role in triggering the differentiation of lymph vessels, but is not required for the maintenance of differentiated lymphatic endothelial cells. Plays an important role in postnatal angiogenesis, where it is functionally redundant with SOX17. Interaction with MEF2C enhances transcriptional activation. Besides, required for normal hair development.
