POU class 3 homeobox 2
Alias
BRN2 | N-Oct3 | OCT7 | OTF-7 | OTF7 | POUF3 | brn-2 | oct-7
This gene encodes a member of the POU-III class of neural transcription factors. The encoded protein is involved in neuronal differentiation and enhances the activation of corticotropin-releasing hormone regulated genes. Overexpression of this protein is associated with an increase in the proliferation of melanoma cells. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012].
