General description
Zinc finger and SCAN domain containing protein 4C (UniProt: Q80VJ6) is encoded by the Zscan4c (also known as Gm397) gene (Gene ID: 245109) in mouse. Zscan4 is an embryonic stem (ES) cell-specific transcription factor required to regulate pluripotency, facilitate telomere elongation, and defy cellular senescence. It is expressed during zygotic genome activation in mouse two-cell embryos. It protects embryos from DNA damage by stabilizing the B-DNA form of microsatellite repeat DNA. It binds to the TGCACAC motif in CA/TG microsatellite repeats and regulates telomere elongation to maintain genomic stability and acts as an activator of spontaneous telomere sister chromatid exchange (T-SCE) in undifferentiated ES cells. Dysfunction of Zscan4 during development or in mESCs leads to implantation failure, telomere maintenance defects, and chromosomal rearrangements. (Ref.: Srinivasan, R., et al., (2020), Sci. Adv., 6, eaaz9115)
Immunogen
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 16 amino acids from the C-terminal half of mouse Zscan4. The immunogen sequence is conserved between Zcsan4 family proteins (Zscan4b, Zscan4C, Zscan4d and Zscan4f).
Application
Anti-Zscan4, Cat. No. AB4340, is a rabbit polyclonal antibody that detects Zscan4 and is tested for use in Western Blotting.

Unlike pluripotent cells, which generate only embryonic tissues, totipotent cells can generate a full organism, including extra-embryonic tissues. A rare population of cells resembling 2-cell-stage embryos arises in pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cell cultures. These 2-cell-like cells display molecular features

Cloned animals generated by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) have been reported for many years; however, SCNT is extremely inefficient, and zygotic genome activation (ZGA) is required for SCNT-mediated somatic cell reprogramming. To identify candidate factors that facilitate ZGA in

Pluripotent stem cells are thought of as a surrogate of early developmental stages that sustain the capacity to generate all cell types in the body, thereby constituting an invaluable tool to address the mechanisms underlying cellular plasticity. In the mouse

Totipotent cells hold enormous potential for regenerative medicine. Thus, the development of cellular models recapitulating totipotent-like features is of paramount importance. Cells resembling the totipotent cells of early embryos arise spontaneously in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell cultures. Such '2-cell-like-cells'

5-Methylcytosine (5mC) oxidases, the ten-eleven translocation (TET) proteins, initiate DNA demethylation, but it is unclear how 5mC oxidation is regulated. We show that the protein SMCHD1 (structural maintenance of chromosomes flexible hinge domain containing 1) is found in complexes with
