Pou2f1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables chromatin binding activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within lens induction in camera-type eye; olfactory placode formation; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebellum; embryo ectoderm; genitourinary system; lung; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human POU2F1 (POU class 2 homeobox 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
