SOX10 Polyclonal Antibody recognizes SOX10, a transcription factor belonging to the SRY-related high-mobility-group box family of DNA-binding proteins. Also known as SRY-Box Transcription Factor 10, SOX10 regulates gene expression programs involved in embryonic development, neural crest differentiation, and cellular lineage specification. This nuclear protein contains a conserved high-mobility-group (HMG) domain that enables DNA binding and contributes to transcriptional regulation. SOX10 is particularly important in melanocytes, Schwann cells, oligodendrocytes, and developing peripheral nervous system structures.
During embryogenesis, SOX10 regulates the survival, migration, and differentiation of neural crest-derived progenitor cells. It cooperates with other transcription factors to establish specialized cellular identities, including melanocytes and peripheral glial cells. In melanocyte development, SOX10 promotes expression of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), a major regulator of melanocyte differentiation and pigmentation. Disruption of this transcriptional network can interfere with melanocyte development and contribute to pigmentation abnormalities.
SOX10 also plays an essential role in nervous system development and myelination. In Schwann cells, it coordinates transcriptional programs required for peripheral nerve maturation and myelin formation. Within the central nervous system, SOX10 contributes to oligodendrocyte differentiation and the expression of myelin-associated genes. These functions make SRY-Box Transcription Factor 10 an important marker for investigating glial lineage development, neural crest biology, and nervous system organization.
In cancer research, SOX10 is widely studied as a marker of melanocytic differentiation. Many melanomas retain nuclear SOX10 expression, making the protein useful for investigating melanocytic tumors and their biological characteristics. SOX10 is also expressed in certain peripheral nerve sheath tumors and subsets of breast and salivary gland carcinomas. Its expression is therefore not exclusive to melanoma, and interpretation requires consideration of additional markers and tissue characteristics.
Pathogenic variants in the SOX10 gene are associated with neurocristopathies, including Waardenburg syndrome and Waardenburg-Shah syndrome. These conditions may involve pigmentation abnormalities, hearing impairment, and intestinal aganglionosis, reflecting the protein's importance in neural crest-derived tissues. SOX10 is also investigated in melanoma progression, cellular plasticity, and changes in differentiation state.
A SOX10 Polyclonal Antibody from NSJ Bioreagents supports research investigating SRY-Box Transcription Factor 10 expression, neural crest differentiation, glial development, melanocytic lineage identity, and SOX10-associated disorders.
For a recombinant monoclonal alternative targeting the same transcription factor, see our SOX10 Antibody rSOX10/1074 (V3563), featuring WB, IHC, and protein microarray validation.
Optimal dilution of the SOX10 Polyclonal Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
An E.coli-derived human recombinant protein (R178-L301) was used as the immunogen for the SOX10 Polyclonal Antibody.
After reconstitution, the SOX10 Polyclonal Antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
