Protein summary

This is preferred isoform of POU4F2 protein.
POU4F2: POU domain, class 4, transcription factor 2
Description:

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the POU-domain transcription factor family and may be involved in maintaining visual system neurons in the retina. The level of the encoded protein is also elevated in a majority of breast cancers, resulting in accelerated tumor growth. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011].
