Summary
POU3F3 (POU class 3 homeobox 3, HGNC:9216) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q12.1, encoding POU domain, class 3, transcription factor 3 (P20264). Transcription factor that acts synergistically with SOX11 and SOX4.
This gene encodes a POU-domain containing protein that functions as a transcription factor. The encoded protein recognizes an octamer sequence in the DNA of target genes. This protein may play a role in development of the nervous system.
