About Pou3f2

Summary

Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in neuron differentiation and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including epidermis development; nervous system development; and regulation of axonogenesis. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; future brain; genitourinary system; and thymus. Orthologous to human POU3F2 (POU class 3 homeobox 2).
