SOX17
SOX17 (Transcription factor SOX-17) is a gene that drives cell growth when it is altered. The public catalogues list it as an oncogene driver, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Endometrial cancer.
Overview
Acts as a transcription regulator that binds target promoter DNA. Binds to the sequences 5'-AACAAT-'3 or 5'-AACAAAG-3'. Modulates transcriptional regulation via WNT3A.
IntOGen calls it a driver in 1 cohort (1 activating, 0 loss-of-function), covering Endometrial Carcinoma.

SOX17 (Transcription factor SOX-17) is a gene that drives cell growth when it is altered. The public catalogues list it as an oncogene driver, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Endometrial cancer.
- 2 · What goes wrong in cancer
Acts as a transcription regulator that binds target promoter DNA. Binds to the sequences 5'-AACAAT-'3 or 5'-AACAAAG-3'.
- 3 · How drugs use it
No product in this corpus aims at SOX17 yet. Drugs fit a pocket that exists only in one shape of the mutant protein and hold it there, off.

Biology
Acts as a transcription regulator that binds target promoter DNA. Binds to the sequences 5'-AACAAT-'3 or 5'-AACAAAG-3'. Modulates transcriptional regulation via WNT3A. Inhibits Wnt signalling. Promotes degradation of activated CTNNB1. Plays a key role in the regulation of embryonic development. Location: Nucleus (UniProt). Locus 8q11.23 (HGNC).

Notes
top- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: IntOGen calls it an activating (Act) driver in 1 cohort. Evidence tier "cohort-driver" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
