NCIt synonyms : OCT1; OTF1; POU2F1; POU Domain, Class 2, Transcription Factor 1 wt Allele;
NCIt definition : Human POU2F1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1q22-q23 and is approximately
206 kb in length. This allele, which encodes POU domain, class 2, transcription factor
1 protein, is involved in the modulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II.;
NCIt note : The POU2F1gene product binds to the octamer motif (5'-ATTTGCAT-3') and activates the
promoters of the genes for some small nuclear RNAs (snRNA) and of genes such as those
for histone H2B and immunoglobulins. This gene product modulates transcription transactivation
by glucocorticoid receptor, androgen receptor and progestrone receptor (GeneCards).;
