## Abstract The Brnβ3b transcription factor has been shown to be overexpressed in human breast cancer cells and contributes toward cell growth regulation. Using microβarrays, more than 50 cancerβrelated genes regulated by Brnβ3b in human breast cancer cells have been identified. For example, Brnβ3b
The POU (Pit-Oct-Unc) family of transcription factors was originally defined on the basis of a common DNA binding domain in the mammalian factors Pit-1, Oct-1, and Oct-2 as well as the nematode protein Unc-86. Subsequently, a number of other POU family factors have been identified in both vertebrate
