Target
-
FunctionTranscription regulator involved in inner cell mass and embryonic stem (ES) cells proliferation and self-renewal. Imposes pluripotency on ES cells and prevents their differentiation towards extraembryonic endoderm and trophectoderm lineages. Blocks bone morphogenetic protein-induced mesoderm differentiation of ES cells by physically interacting with SMAD1 and interfering with the recruitment of coactivators to the active SMAD transcriptional complexes (By similarity). Acts as a transcriptional activator or repressor (By similarity). Binds optimally to the DNA consensus sequence 5'-TAAT[GT][GT]-3' or 5'-[CG][GA][CG]C[GC]ATTAN[GC]-3' (By similarity). When overexpressed, promotes cells to enter into S phase and proliferation.
-
Tissue specificityExpressed in testicular carcinoma and derived germ cell tumors (at protein level). Expressed in fetal gonads, ovary and testis. Also expressed in ovary teratocarcinoma cell line and testicular embryonic carcinoma. Not expressed in many somatic organs and oocytes.
-
Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the Nanog homeobox family.
Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain. -
Developmental stageExpressed in embryonic stem (ES) and carcinoma (EC) cells. Expressed in inner cell mass (ICM) of the blastocyst and gonocytes between 14 and 19 weeks of gestation (at protein level). Not expressed in oocytes, unfertilized oocytes, 2-16 cell embryos and early morula (at protein level). Expressed in embryonic stem cells (ES). Expression decreases with ES differentiation.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Nanog antibody (ab70482)Image courtesy of an anonymous Abreview.ab70482 staining Nanog in murine embryonic stem cells by Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence. The cells were fixed in paraformaldehyde, permeabilised in 0.05% Triton X-100 and blocked using 10% serum for 2 hours at 20°C. Samples were then incubated with primary antibody at 1/500 for 16 hours at 4°C. The secondary antibody used was a goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488 (green) used at a 1/1000 dilution. -

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Nanog antibody (ab70482)This image is courtesy of an Abreview submitted by Carl Hobbsab70482 staining mouse teratoma sections by IHC-P. The tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and a heat mediated antigen retrival step was performed with HIER buffer. Blocking of the sample was done with 1% BSA for 10 minutes at 21°C, followed by staining with ab70482 at 1/750 in TBS/BSA/azide for 2h at 21°C. A biotinylated goat anti-rabbit polyclonal antibody at 1/200 was used as the secondary antibody.
