Transcription factor SOX-21 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SOX21 gene. It is a member of the Sox gene family of transcription factors.
In the chick embryo, Sox21 promotes neuronal cellular differentiation by counteracting the activity of Sox1, Sox2, and Sox3, which maintain neural cells in an undifferentiated state.
SOX21 knockout mice display hair loss beginning from postnatal day 11. New hair regrowth was initiated a few days later but was followed by renewed hair loss. Sox21 is also expressed in the hair shaft cuticle in humans and consequently variants of the Sox21 gene could be responsible for some hair loss conditions in humans.
[Chorus]
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
[Verse 1]
When the people of the power meet the power of the
people,
Then it changes every hour of the day,
All you need is one man with his head in the sand,
To rise up and say,
It's the regime of a beauty queen,
You gotta come clean cause you're a liar,
But if you stand up and fight for the things that are
right,
Then you'll find one day you start a fire,
And when that flame burns,
The people start to learn,
It's all you need to take you higher,
Higher than the trees and the birds and the bees,
It's the flame that we call desire, yeah
[Chorus]
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
[Verse 2]
It's the man at the docks working off the clock,
Who's a time bomb ready to explode,
Can we find a way to make it through the day,
Please tell me cause I don't know,
And then one day he goes boom,
His mind begins to break,
The weight upon his shoulders is too much for him to
take,
Sick of living his life by the edge of a knife,
Yeah he's gone
Said he's gone,
Never to return,
'Cause you know his flame will never ever burn again,
again
Again, again
Again, again
Again, yeah yeah
[Chorus]
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
[Verse 3]
I was on my way just the other day,
When a man said I've got a problem,
I have everything that money can bring,
But I can't stop the wind from blowing,
I could sympathize with the pain in his eyes,
When I told him he'd fade to nothing,
You can try to change,
When you pass the blame,
But you know it's the choice of the chosen, yeah
[Chorus]
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Said it's the choice of the chosen, yeah
