BRN-3 is a group of related transcription factors in the POU family.^[1] They are also known as class 4 POU domain homeobox proteins.

There are three BRN-3 proteins encoded by the following genes:

BRN3A (POU4F1, POU4F1)
BRN3B (POU4F2, POU4F2)
BRN3C (POU4F3, POU4F3)

Nomenclature

The BRN or Brn prefix is an abbreviation for "brain"; the longer name is "Brain-specific homeobox". The name of the group may also be abbreviated as POU4, Pou4, POU IV, or POU-IV.
