General description

Brn-2 (POU domain, class 3, transcription factor 2; Oct-7; N-Oct-3; or POU3F2) is a member of a large family of POU-domain transcription factors. The highly homologous POU domain contains a POU-specific domain at the N-terminus, a POU-homeo domain at the C-terminus and an interconnecting linker region. The POU domain binds to the DNA sequence 5’-ATGCAAAT-3’. Brn-2 is highly expressed in the developing CNS and may play a role in neurogenesis, particularly in the development of the hypothalamus. Previous studies have also suggested that Brn-2 integrates signals downstream of the BRAF/MAP kinase and Wnt/β-catenin pathways, and Brn-2 may be involved in the transformation and proliferation of melanomas.
~54 kDa observed.
The calculated molecular weight is 47 kDa Brn-2 (POU3F2) may be observed at ~50-55 kDa in some cell lysates (Wolfe, A., et al., (2002). Molecular Endocrinology. 16(3):435-449).

Immunogen
