Acts early in neural crest formation, functioning redundantly with the other group E Sox factors sox8 and sox9 to induce neural crest progenitors. Acts downstream of wnt-signaling at the neural plate border. Involved in the specification of neural crest progenitors fated to form the pigment cell lineage (By similarity).
