POU domain, class 4, transcription factor 1, also known as POU4F1, is a human gene.[1]
BRN3A (POU4F1) is a class IV POU domain-containing transcription factor highly expressed in the developing sensory nervous system and in cells of the B- and T-lymphocytic lineages (Gerrero et al., 1993).[supplied by OMIM][1]
