| Name | POU5F1 |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | OCT3, OCT4, OTF3 |
| Function | Transcription factor that binds to the octamer motif (5'- ATTTGCAT-3'). Forms a trimeric complex with SOX2 or SOX15 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. |
| Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Expressed in a diffuse and slightly punctuate pattern. Colocalizes with MAPK8 and MAPK9 in the nucleus. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P20263, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18191611, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19274063, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23024368} |
| Tissue Location | 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. |
| Volume | 50 µl |
