In human primordial germ cells (PGCs) differentiated from embryonic stem cells in vitro, SOX17 binds and activates the gene encoding CXCR4, the receptor for the chemokine CXCL12 (Tang et al. 2022). In mouse embryos (Ara et al. 2003, Molyneaux et al. 2003) and zebrafish embryos (Doitsidou et al. 2002), Cxcr4 on PGCs interacts with its ligand, Cxcl12 which is secreted by somatopleur mesenchyme and genital ridges, and guides the migration of PGCs.
