The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the POU domain family of transcription factors. POU domain transcription factors bind to a specific octamer DNA motif and regulate cell type-specific differentiation pathways. The encoded protein plays a key role in embryonic development and stem cell pluripotency. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
