OCT4 [MD192R]
Description OCT-4, also known as OTF3 or POU5F1, is a member of the POU family of transcription factors, involved in the regulation of pluripotency during normal development and is detectable in embryonic stem and germ cells. It can specifically bind to the octamer motif (5'-ATTTCAT-3'), and it is critical for the self-renewal of embryonic stem cells. Overall, OCT-4 is a key regulator of selfrenewal in embryonic stem cells; its expression is potentially correlated with tumorigenesis and can affect some aspects of tumor behavior such as tumor recurrence or resistance to therapies. OCT- 4 is expressed in undifferentiated pluriopotency cells, germ cells in ovary and testes. OCT-4 is a sensitive and specific marker for germ cell tumors. It is consistently detected in carcinoma in situ/gonadoblastoma, seminomas, germinoma, dysgerminoma, and embryonal carcinoma but not in the differentiated components of nonseminomas, i.e., teratomas, yolk sac tumors, and choriocarcinomas. An antibody to OCT-4 is useful Host Rabbit Application Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Reactivity Human
