COUP transcription factor 1 (UniProt Q60632; also known as Avian erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog-like 3, COUP-TF1, COUP-TF I, COUP transcription factor I, EAR-3, Nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group F member 1, V-erbA-related protein 3) is encoded by the Nr2f1 (also known as Erbal3, Tfcoup1) gene (Gene ID 13865) in murine species. COUP transcription factors1&2 (COUP-TFI & COUP-TFII) are two related nuclear orphan receptors implicated in their roles in guiding migrating neurons towards their target regions during brain development. COUP-TFI and COUP-TFII are expressed in distinct and non-overlapping migrating cells in specific pathways in the basal telencephalon of mouse embryos at a stage when interneuron migration is robust. While COUP-TFI appears to control dorsal and ventral migration in the basal telencephalon, COUP-TFII is more specific in modulating tangential migration into the intermediate zone of the cortex. Coup-TFII is also identified as an activator of Prox1 expression in venous lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) progenitors during early stages of LEC specification and differentiation.
