Human Gene POU3F2 (ENST00000328345.8) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens POU class 3 homeobox 2 (POU3F2), mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_005604)
RefSeq Summary (NM_005604): 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]. Sequence Note: This RefSeq record was created from transcript and genomic sequence data to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly. The genomic coordinates used for the transcript record were based on transcript alignments.

  ID: PO3F2_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=POU domain, class 3, transcription factor 2; AltName: Full=Brain-specific homeobox/POU domain protein 2; Short=Brain-2; Short=Brn-2; AltName: Full=Nervous system-specific octamer-binding transcription factor N-Oct-3; AltName: Full=Octamer-binding protein 7; Short=Oct-7; AltName: Full=Octamer-binding transcription factor 7; Short=OTF-7;
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 (By similarity).
SUBUNIT: Interacts with PQBP1.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
