General description

Octamer-4 (Oct-4), a member of the POU family of transcription factors, has been demonstrated to be vital for the formation of self-renewing pluripotent stem cells. During embryogenesis expression of Oct-4 is limited to pluripotent cells of the inner cell mass (ICM) that contribute to the formation of all fetal cell types. This relationship between Oct-4 and pluripotency has seen this transcription factor emerge as a marker of pluripotent stem cells. Undifferentiated human and murine pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) and embryonic carcinoma (EC) cells express Oct-4. Additionally, murine embryonic germ (EG) cells are also known to express Oct-4. Following stem cell differentiation, the level of Oct-4 expression decreases. Oct-4 expression by human EG cells is not known.

Specificity

Reacts with human Oct-4.

Immunogen

Recombinant GST fusion protein, human Oct-4 (aa 1-134).

Application

Detect Oct-4 using this Anti-Oct-4 Antibody, clone 10H11.2, Alexa Fluor 488 conjugate validated for use in FC & IC.
