Background
POU domain, class 2, transcription factor 2 (POU2F2), also known as Oct-2, is a transcription factor in the POU protein family (1-3). POU proteins contain two subunits: an N-terminal POU-specific domain and a C-terminal homeobox domain (1-3). Due to alternate splicing, POU2F2 has five human isoforms and seven mouse isoforms (3). POU2F2 is normally expressed in B cells and B cell lineage tumor cells, and is involved in B cell proliferation and differentiation by binding to immunoglobulin gene promoters (2-4). POU2F2 has also been shown to have a tumor-promoting role in some cancers, as well as potentially promoting oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) escape in early cancer progression (5,6).
