Source: NCBI Gene (ID 5454)

Symbol: POU3F2

Full name: POU class 3 homeobox 2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: BRN2; N-Oct3; OCT7; OTF-7; OTF7; POUF3; brn-2; oct-7

Summary: 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]
