BRN3A Proteins and Enzymes

Brn-3a is a transcription factor belonging to the class IV of POU domain transcription factors. It is expressed throughout the peripheral nervous system but especially in postmitotic sensory neurons of dorsal root ganglia. Brn-3a is known to regulate different genes involved in neuronal differentiation and survival (1). Characterization of Brn-3a suggests potential roles of Brn-3a in the development of retinal ganglion cells and sensory neurons, as well as potential roles in the pituitary gland ...
