Facts about POU domain, class 4, transcription factor 2.
Plays a fundamental role in the gene regulatory system necessary for retinal ganglion cell (RGC) differentiation. Binds to an octamer site to form a ternary complex with ISL1; cooperates favorably with ISL1 and ISL2 to potentiate transcriptional activation of RGC target genes being included in RGC fate commitment in the developing retina and RGC axon formation and pathfinding.
