Full name: POU domain, class 4, transcription factor 2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Also known as: Brn-3.2; Brn-3b; Brn3b; Pou4f-rs1; mBrn3-3R

Summary: Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; p53 binding activity; and promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to estradiol stimulus; positive regulation of cell differentiation; and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including axonogenesis; neuromuscular process controlling balance; and sensory perception of sound. Located in cytoplasm; euchromatin; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; glomerular tuft; sensory organ; and trunk. Orthologous to human POU4F2 (POU class 4 homeobox 2).
