Analysis of LOC122817722 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-1458-LGZ)

Introduction

Gene description: OCT4-NANOG-H3K27ac hESC enhancer GRCh37_chr2:109191556-109192512
This genomic sequence was predicted to be a transcriptional regulatory region based on chromatin state analysis from the ENCODE (ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements) project. It was validated as an active enhancer by the ChIP-STARR-seq massively parallel reporter assay in primed human embryonic stem cells, where it associates with the OCT4 and NANOG transcription factors and is marked by the H3K27ac histone modification. A subregion was also validated as a repressive element by Sharpr-MPRA (Systematic high-resolution activation and repression profiling with reporter tiling using massively parallel reporter assays) in both HepG2 liver carcinoma cells (group: HepG2 Repressive non-DNase unmatched - State 10:DNaseD, primarily Duke DNase, candidate regulatory elements in more likely repressive locations) and K562 erythroleukemia cells (group: K562 Repressive non-DNase unmatched - State 23:Low, low signal proximal to active elements).
