Gene: POU3F3

Alternate names for this Gene: BRN1|OTF8|SNIBFIS|brain-1|oct-8

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a POU-domain containing protein that functions as a transcription factor. The encoded protein recognizes an octamer sequence in the DNA of target genes. This protein may play a role in development of the nervous system.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2q12.1

Description of this Gene: POU class 3 homeobox 3

Type of Gene: protein-coding
