Alternate names for this Gene: OCT4-PG1|OCT4PG1|OTF3C|OTF3P1|POU5F1P1|POU5F1P4|POU5FLC20|POU5FLC8

Gene Summary: This intronless gene was thought to be a transcribed pseudogene of POU class 5 homeobox 1, however, it has been reported that this gene can encode a functional protein. The encoded protein is nearly the same length as and highly similar to the POU class 5 homeobox 1 transcription factor, has been shown to be a weak transcriptional activator and may play a role in carcinogenesis and eye development.

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: PCAT1

Alternate names for this Gene: PCA1|PCAT-1|PiHL

Gene Summary: This gene produces a long non-coding RNA that promotes cell proliferation and is upregulated in prostate, colorectal, and other cancers. This RNA negatively regulates the BRCA2 tumor suppressor protein and positively regulates Myc oncoprotein. It contains binding sites for microRNAs, and may act as a sponge for microRNAs that regulate cell growth pathways.
