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.
