OCT3/4 Signaling Pathway Luminex Assay (CAT#: STEM-MB-0328-WXH)

Introduction

OCT3/4 is the full name of POU class 5 homeobox 1 (POU5F1) in the human genome. It is highly conserved in other species. It is an important transcription factor for embryonic stem cells and primordial germ cells to maintain the multi-directional differentiation potential. It is mainly expressed in embryonic stem cells and primordial reproduction. Therefore, its abnormal expression usually indicates germ cell tumorous lesions, and it can also be used in cell biology as one of the stemness identification markers of cancer stem cells.




Principle

Oct3/4 is regarded as one of the key regulators of pluripotency. Oct-4 is a homeodomain transcription factor of the POU family. This protein is critically involved in the self-renewal of undifferentiated embryonic stem cells. it is frequently used as a marker for undifferentiated cells. Oct-4 expression must be closely regulated; too much or too little will cause differentiation of the cells.
Oct-3/4 is a POU transcription factor that is expressed in embryonic stem (ES) cells and germ cells, and its expression is required to sustain cell self-renewal and pluripotency. Oct-3/4 is the most recognized marker for totipotent ES cells.
