Function
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
Tissue Specificity
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
Cellular Localization
Nucleus. Note=Expressed in a diffuse and slightly punctuate pattern
Western blot analysis of OCT4 in MDA-MB435 cell line lysates (35ug/lane). OCT4 (arrow) was detected using the purified Pab.
