Protein summary

This is preferred isoform of POU4F1 protein.
POU4F1: POU domain, class 4, transcription factor 1
Description:

This gene encodes a member of the POU-IV class of neural transcription factors. This protein is expressed in a subset of retinal ganglion cells and may be involved in the developing sensory nervous system. This protein may also promote the growth of cervical tumors. A translocation of this gene is associated with some adult acute myeloid leukemias. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012].
