SOX10 and melanoma: Among those, the transcription factor SOX10 has been shown to be involved in melanomagenesis in animal models [25,26] and, more recently, in the regulation of melanoma cell invasion, through the regulation of melanoma inhibitory activity (MIA) expression [27]; thus SOX10, besides its role as a marker of melanocytic differentiation in diagnostic pathology, represents a potential therapeutic target for melanoma.
