Immunogen :

This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal region of human Oct-4 protein.

Packing Type :

Dry Ice

Physical State :

Liquid (sterile filtered)

Preservative :

0.01% (w/v) Sodium Azide

Purity and Specificity :

This product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. This antibody reacts with human and mouse Oct-4 protein. Cross-reactivity with Oct-4 from other species has not been tested. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest additional cross-reactivity with Oct-4 from chimpanzee, macaque and horse based on a 100% homology with the immunizing sequence; and mink, dog, bovine and pig based on a 93% homology.

Species Reactivity :

human, mouse

Storage :

Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.

Synonyms :

rabbit anti-OCT4 antibody, OCT-4, OCT 4, Octamer binding protein 4 antibody, Octamer binding transcription factor 3 antibody, OTF3 antibody, OCT3, POU5F1, POU class 5 homeobox 1 antibody, POU domain class 5 transcription factor 1 antibody

Target Species :

Human

Background :

Oct-4, also known as POU domain transcription factor, Octomer- binding transcription factor 3 and Oct-3, is expressed in human and mouse totipotent embryonic stem and germ cells. It may function in preventing these cells from differentiating. Each type of established mammalian pluripotent stem cell line (embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells, embryonic stem (ES) cells and embryonic germ (EG) cells) expresses Oct-4, which disappears rapidly when the cells differentiate. Most studies on Oct-4 have been performed on murine embryos. In human oocytes of various maturity and normally developing preimplantation/cleavage embryos, a variable Oct-4 expression pattern has been revealed, concomitant with a pure cytoplasmic localization of the protein. This variability in expression fades away during compaction, indicating embryonic Oct-4 expression; the protein appears in the nucleus, implying biological activity. Functional Oct-4 has been found in human amniotic fluid. As Oct-4 transcripts have also been found in various differentiated cells, the presence of Oct-4 transcripts or proteins may not be sufficient for identifying undifferentiated cell lines in humans. It may also be important to examine the localization of Oct-4 proteins within a cell. Oct-4 has been shown to interact with Nanog and with proteins from multiple repression complexes, including the NuRD, Sin3A and Pml complexes, possibly to control ES fate. Reactivation of Oct-4 expression is postulated to occur in differentiated cells that have undergone carcinogenesis, or tumor formation.
