Description

The POU3F3 (POU class 3 homeobox 3) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 2.

The POU3F3 gene encodes a protein that acts as a transcription factor. This protein contains a POU domain, a region that binds to specific DNA sequences, particularly an octamer sequence. It is believed to be involved in the development of the nervous system.

POU3F3 is also known as BRN1, OTF8, SNIBFIS, brain-1, oct-8.
