SOX17（SRY-box transcription factor 17），癌症关联基因，基因ID：64321，该基因编码一个sox（sry相关hmg-box）转录因子家族成员，参与胚胎发育的调控和细胞命运的决定。编码的蛋白质在与其他蛋白质形成蛋白质复合物后可作为转录调节因子。[由RefSeq提供，2008年7月]This gene encodes a member of the SOX (SRY-related HMG-box) family of transcription factors 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. [provided by RefSeq， Jul 2008]。
