Function |
Transcription factor that acts synergistically with SOX11 and SOX4 (By similarity). Plays a role in neuronal development. Is implicated in an enhancer activity at the embryonic met-mesencephalic junction; the enhancer element contains the octamer motif (5'-ATTTGCAT-3'). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10473120, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12130536, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19527706}.
