Related Product Information for anti-OCT-4 antibody
Oct4, also known as POU domain transcription factor, Octomerbinding transcription factor 3 and Oct3, 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 Oct4, which disappears rapidly when the cells differentiate. Most studies on Oct4 have been performed on murine embryos. In human oocytes of various maturity and normally developing preimplantation/cleavage embryos, a variable Oct4 expression pattern has been revealed, concomitant with a pure cytoplasmic localization of the protein. This variability in expression fades away during compaction, indicating embryonic Oct4 expression; the protein appears in the nucleus, implying biological activity.
Functional Oct4 has been found in human amniotic fluid. As Oct4 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 Oct4 proteins within a cell. Oct4 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 Oct4 expression is postulated to occur in differentiated cells that have undergone carcinogenesis, or tumor formation.

Product Notes
The OCT-4 (Catalog #AAA555139) is an Antibody and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The OCT-4, Affinity Purified Antibody, Rabbit reacts with Human, Mouse, Primate and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's OCT-4 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the OCT-4 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "OCT-4, Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
