POU2F3 - POU class 2 homeobox 3 Gene
Also Known as PLA1; OCT11; PLA-1; Epoc-1; OCT-11; OTF-11; Skn-1a
Species: Homo sapiens
About POU2F3
This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 205 orthologues and 17 paralogues. Biased expression in skin (RPKM 16.5) and lung (RPKM 0.4).
Summary
This gene encodes a member of 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 is primarily expressed in the epidermis, and plays a critical role in keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation. The encoded protein is also a candidate tumor suppressor protein, and aberrant promoter methylation of this gene may play a role in cervical Cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
