POU5F1B - POU class 5 homeobox 1B Gene
Also Known as OTF3C; OTF3P1; OCT4PG1; OCT4-PG1; POU5F1P1; POU5F1P4; POU5FLC8; POU5FLC20
Species: Homo sapiens
About POU5F1B
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 316 orthologues and 17 paralogues.
Summary
This intronless gene was thought to be a transcribed pseudogene of POU class 5 homeobox 1, however, it has been reported that this gene can encode a functional protein. The encoded protein is nearly the same length as and highly similar to the POU class 5 homeobox 1 transcription factor, has been shown to be a weak transcriptional activator and may play a role in carcinogenesis and eye development.
