Anti-POU2F2

The protein encoded by this gene is a homeobox-containing transcription factor of the POU domain family. The encoded protein binds the octamer sequence 5'-ATTTGCAT-3', a common transcription factor binding site in immunoglobulin gene promoters. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Protein function: Transcription factor that specifically binds to the octamer motif (5'-ATTTGCAT-3') (PubMed:2904654, PubMed:7859290). Regulates IL6 expression in B cells with POU2AF1. Regulates transcription in a number of tissues in addition to activating immunoglobulin gene expression (PubMed:2901913, PubMed:2904654). Modulates transcription transactivation by NR3C1, AR and PGR (PubMed:10480874). [The UniProt Consortium]
