    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the control of the forebrain development and the cell-cell signaling process underlying the hypothalamic regulation of female puberty
  • playing a role in regulating transcription in a number of tissues in addition to activating immunoglobulin gene expression
  • playing an essential role during the terminal phase of B cell differentiation
  • with POU2F2, are B-cell associated transcription factors expressed in a subset of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
  • POU2AF1 together with POU2F1/POU2F2, binds to octamer sites in promoters and enhancers to activate transcription of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes
  • POU2F1 and GATA3/POU2F2 direct Th2 cytokine gene expression in a cooperative manner

    small molecule
    protein
  • ZNF593
  • repressing the involucrin promoter activity in epithelial cells and in the presence of the silencer element(when overexpressed)
  • POU2AF1 is a B lymphocyte-specific transcription factor which coactivates POU2F1 and POU2F2 on B cell specific promoters
  • PDCD1LG2 expression is regulated by two different promoters that function in a lineage-specific manner, with the B-1-specific promoter being constitutively active as a result of POU2F1 and POU2F2 binding
  • a putative defect in POU2F1 and/or POU2F2, by affecting HMGA1 expression, may cause INSR dysfunction, leading to defects of the INSR signaling pathway
