Interpolated concentrations of native Oct4 in NCCIT cell extract based on a 50 μg/mL extract load.

The concentrations of Oct4 were measured in duplicate and interpolated from the Oct4 standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean Oct4 concentration was determined to be 26.7 ng/mL in NCCIT cell extract.

Product details

Human/Mouse Oct4 ELISA Kit ab235653 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Human/Mouse Oct4 in cell culture extracts. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 596 pg/mL.

How the assay works

Human/Mouse Oct4 SimpleStep ELISA®employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details.

Assay Specificity

Our SimpleStep ELISA® kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

Oct4 also known as POU5F1 Oct 4 protein and hecho en Oct 4 is a transcription factor important for maintaining pluripotency in stem cells. Oct4 protein has a molecular weight of approximately 40-45 kDa. Stem and germ cells express Oct4 where it regulates gene expression essential for cell differentiation and self-renewal. In immunohistochemistry (IHC) studies scientists often use Oct4 staining to identify stem cell presence and behavior.
Biological function summary

Oct4 acts in concert with other pluripotency factors like SOX2 and NANOG to form a regulatory network essential for maintaining stem cell identity. As part of this network the Oct4 transcription factor orchestrates the expression of genes that prevent differentiation and maintain the stem cell’s undifferentiated state. The protein directly activates the transcription of target genes involved in maintaining the pluripotent state.

Pathways

Oct4 plays an important role in the maintenance of pluripotency and self-renewal in the embryonic stem cell (ESC) and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) pathways. Oct4 partners with proteins such as SOX2 and KLF4 in these pathways to activate and repress a common set of downstream genes which control differentiation and proliferation. Oct4 ensures the blocking of differentiation signals while promoting self-renewal in pluripotent cells.

Aberrant Oct4 expression often links to oncogenesis and tumor progression particularly in testicular germ cell tumors and certain types of cancers. Oct4 overexpression may interact with c-MYC a protein linked to cancer cell proliferation advancing tumorigenesis. Additionally researchers investigate Oct4 as a diagnostic marker for cancer and its potential as a therapeutic target to inhibit cancer cell growth.

Product protocols

Target data

The protein expressed by the gene POU5F1 is a transcription factor that binds to the octamer motif (5'-ATTTGCAT-3') and forms a trimeric complex with SOX2 or SOX15 on DNA. It controls the expression of several genes involved in embryonic development, including YES1, FGF4, UTF1, and ZFP206. This protein is critical for early embryogenesis and for maintaining embryonic stem cell pluripotency. This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.
