About Pou5f1

Chromosome 17: 35,816,915-35,821,669 forward strand.GRCm39:CM001010.3

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 331 orthologues, 16 paralogues and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Biased expression in testis adult (RPKM 4.) and ovary adult (RPKM 1.5).

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the POU domain family of transcription factors. POU domain transcription factors bind to a specific octamer DNA motif and regulate cell type-specific differentiation pathways. The encoded protein plays a key role in embryonic development and stem cell pluripotency. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
