Gene Information

human ... POU5F1(5460)

General description

The POU5F1 gene expresses the POU-domain transcription factor, Octamer-4 (Oct-4), which is widely regarded as a hallmark of pluripotent stem cells. The relationship of Oct-4 to pluripotent stem cells is indicated by its tightly restricted expression to undifferentiated pluripotent stem cells. Upon differentiation to somatic lineages, the expression of Oct-4 disappears rapidly. Unlike the majority of pluripotent stem cell markers, the biological role of Oct-4 has been well characterized. Studies performed in mice point to the critical role of Oct-4 in the establishment and/or maintenance of pluripotent stem cells in an uncommitted state.

Immunogen

Recombinant protein corresponding to human Oct-4.

Application

Anti-Oct-4 Antibody, clone 9B7 detects level of Oct-4 & has been published & validated for use in WB, IH & IF.

Two cell lines were generated by CRISPR/Cas9 mediated knockout of MKK7 (MAP2K7) by removal of exon 1 or exons 4 through 7. These knockouts were confirmed at the transcript and protein levels. These hESCs are pluripotent and maintain tri-lineage differentiation

Translational control plays a central role in regulation of gene expression and can lead to significant divergence between mRNA- and protein-abundance. Here, we used genome-wide approaches combined with time-course analysis to measure the mRNA-abundance, mRNA-translation rate and protein expression during

It is well known that clonal cells can make different fate decisions, but it is unclear whether these decisions are determined during, or before, a cell's own lifetime. Here, we engineered an endogenous fluorescent reporter for the pluripotency factor OCT4

Stem cells (SCs) are a promising approach to regenerative medicine, with the potential to treat numerous orthopedic disorders, including osteo-degenerative diseases. The development of human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) has increased the potential of SCs for new treatments. However, current
