Description
Product Characteristics:
Probable transcription factor which may play a role in the regulation of specific gene expression within a subset of neuronal lineages. May play a role in determining or maintaining the identities of a small subset of visual system neurons.
Subcellular location: Nucleus
Synonyms: BRN3A, RDC-1, Oct-T1, brn-3A, POU domain, class 4, transcription factor 1, Brain-specific homeobox/POU domain protein 3A, Brain-3A, Homeobox/POU domain protein RDC-1, POU4F1, RDC1
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the POU-IV class of neural transcription factors. This protein is expressed in a subset of retinal ganglion cells and may be involved in the developing sensory nervous system. This protein may also promote the growth of cervical tumors. A translocation of this gene is associated with some adult acute myeloid leukemias. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]
