POU domain, class 4, transcription factor 3, Brain-specific homeobox/POU domain protein 3C, Brain-3C, Brn-3C, POU4F3, BRN3C
PO4F3 encodes a member of the POU-domain family of transcription factors. POU-domain proteins have been observed to play important roles in control of cell identity in several systems. This protein is found in the retina and may play a role in determining or maintaining the identities of a small subset of visual system neurons. Defects in this protein are the cause of non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal dominant type 15.
