Entrez Gene summary for POU3F2 Gene:

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)

GeneCards Summary for POU3F2 Gene:

POU3F2 (POU class 3 homeobox 2) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with POU3F2 include merkel cell carcinoma, and microphthalmia. GO annotations related to this gene include identical protein binding and sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity. An important paralog of this gene is POU5F2.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: PO3F2_HUMAN, P20265

Function: Transcription factor that binds preferentially to the recognition sequence which consists of two

distinct half-sites, ('GCAT') and ('TAAT'), separated by a nonconserved spacer region of 0, 2, or 3 nucleotides.

Positively regulates the genes under the control of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and CRH II promoters
