A novel region referred to as the POU-domain is present in two tissue-specific transcription factors, Pit-1 and Oct-2, that activate expression of genes specifying pituitary and lymphocyte phenotypes. We report the identification of multiple new members of a large family of POU-domain genes expressed in adult brain, and document that all the known mammalian POU-domain genes, including Pit-1 and Oct-2, are expressed widely in the developing nervous system.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
