other info1 :
Biological Significance: Oct3/4 maintains developmental potency and governs distinct fates of embryonic stem cells. A moderate increase in expression causes differentiation into primitive endoderm and mesoderm. In contrast, repression of Oct3/4 induces loss of pluripotency and dedifferentiation to trophectoderm.
other info2 :
Biohazard Information: This product contains sodium azide as preservative. Although the amount of sodium azide is very small appropriate care must be taken when handling this product. Immunogen: Oct 3/4 antibody was raised in rabbit using an internal sequence of the human Oct 3/4 protein as the immunogen.

uniprot summary :
Oct4: Transcription factor that binds to the octamer motif (5 -ATTTGCAT-3 ). Forms a trimeric complex with SOX2 on DNA and controls the expression of a number of genes involved in embryonic development such as YES1, FGF4, UTF1 and ZFP206. Critical for early embryogenesis and for embryonic stem cell pluripotency. Interacts with UBE2I and ZSCAN10. Interacts with PKM2. Interacts with WWP2. Transcriptional activity is positively regulated by PKM2. Expressed in developing brain. Highest levels found in specific cell layers of the cortex, the olfactory bulb, the hippocampus and the cerebellum. Low levels of expression in adult tissues. Belongs to the POU transcription factor family. Class- 5 subfamily. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: DNA-binding; Transcription factor. Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; transcription factor complex; transcriptional repressor complex; cytoplasm; nucleolus; nucleus; cytosol. Molecular Function: protein binding; miRNA binding; DNA binding; chromatin DNA binding; sequence-specific DNA binding; protein heterodimerization activity; ubiquitin protein ligase binding; chromatin binding; transcription corepressor activity; transcription factor activity; transcription factor binding.
