Anti-Human Oct-4 Antibody

产品说明

一般描述

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.

特异性

Reacts with human Oct-4 only, and detects the Oct-4A isoform. (Note: Please order Catalog No. MAB4419 for use with mouse embryonic stem cells).
The clone reacts strongly with specific nuclear binding to human ES cells and cross-reacts weakly with mouse ES cells.

免疫原

KLH-EDC-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the unknown of Human Oct-4.
Epitope: unknown
