SOX2OT

SOX2 overlapping transcript (SOX2OT) is a is_associated_with::long non-coding RNA, containing at least 5 is_associated_with::exons. The is_associated_with::SOX2 gene, an important regulator of is_associated_with::neurogenesis, lies within one of the is_associated_with::introns of SOX2OT. SOX2OT and SOX2DOT (an is_associated_with::isoform of SOXOT transcribed from a distal highly conserved element) are expressed in zones of neurogenesis within the brain. It is associated with is_associated_with::central nervous system structures in is_associated_with::zebrafish and chicken embryonic brains, and is dynamically regulated during is_associated_with::embryogenesis. SOX2OT may play a role in vertebrate development.
