Relevance 

Members of Oct family of transcription factors specifically interact with Octamer motif ATGCAAAT, a regulatory element important for tissue- and cell-specific transcription as well as for transcription of a number of housekeeping genes. All of the members of the Oct family contain two highly conserved domains which are separated by 14-26 variable amino acids. These include the POU homeodomain and the POU-specific domain. Both are required for DNA binding and are involved in protein-protein interactions. Evidences indicate that regulation of Oct family transcription factors occurs at the level of phosphorylation. Oct4 is renowned as a transcription factor expressed by undifferentiated embryonic stem cells and embryonic germ cells.

ab27985 staining Oct4 in human embryonic carcinoma cells by Flow Cytometery. Cells were fixed in paraformaldehyde and permeabilized in saponin buffer. The primary antibody was diluted 1/500 (PBS + 10% BSA) and incubated with sample for 1 hour at 4°C. A FITC conjugated Donkey polyclonal to  goat IgG, diluted 1/200 was used as secondary. The red histogram is secondary only control whilst green and blue repersents Oct4 expression in untreated and partially differentiated with 10nM Trans-Retinoic acid for 14 days.
