Function

The frequencies of the primary cilia in the Sox17+/− gallbladder epithelia appear to be increased, rather than reduced, compared with those in wild type (PMID: 23293295). Endogenous Sox17 was detected primarily in ciliated cells, but not in Clara or alveolar type II cells (PMID: 16574095).SOX17 has located to motile cilia.

Model organism evidence

Danio rerio (2 references)

Using a newly engineered transgenic line (sox17:Cry2-GFP), we optogenetically disrupted the intraflagellar transport protein IFT88 in KV progenitors via blue light-induced clustering of CIB1-RFP-IFT88.

Prompted by our recent discovery that Wnt signaling regulates ciliogenesis in the zebrafish Kupffer's vesicle (KV) via Foxj1a, a ciliogenic transcription factor, we decided to elucidate functions of Foxj1a in Wnt-regulated LR pattern formation.

Mus musculus (2 references)

The buccohypophyseal canal is an ancestral vertebrate trait maintained by modulation in sonic hedgehog signaling.

These promoters shared common features including the absence of a TATA box, and putative binding sites for several factors implicated in spermatogenesis (CREB/CREM, SOX17 and SPZ1) as well as ciliogenesis (FOXJ1).
