Background

Brn3a, also referred to as POU4F1, RGC-1 or Oct-T1, is a transcription factor highly expressed in the developing peripheral sensory nervous system, in cells of the B- and T-lymphocytic lineages and in certain regions of the CNS e.g. retina, spinal cord, midbrain superior colliculus, red nucleus, nucleus ambiguus, inferior olivary nucleus and habenula. In the retina Brn3a is a well-established marker for retinal ganglion cells.
