    Specifications

    Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab20650 in the following tested applications.

    The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

    • Applications

      Blocking - Blocking peptide for Anti-Oct4 antibody (ab19857), Anti-Oct4 antibody (ab27985)

    • Form

      Liquid
    • Additional notes

      - First try to dissolve a small amount of peptide in either water or buffer. The more charged residues on a peptide, the more soluble it is in aqueous solutions.
      - If the peptide doesn’t dissolve try an organic solvent e.g. DMSO, then dilute using water or buffer.
      - Consider that any solvent used must be compatible with your assay. If a peptide does not dissolve and you need to recover it, lyophilise to remove the solvent.
      - Gentle warming and sonication can effectively aid peptide solubilisation. If the solution is cloudy or has gelled the peptide may be in suspension rather than solubilised.
      - Peptides containing cysteine are easily oxidised, so should be prepared in solution just prior to use.

    • Function

      Transcription factor that binds to the octamer motif (5'-ATTTGCAT-3'). Forms a trimeric complex with SOX2 on DNA and controls the expression of a number of genes involved in embryonic development such as YES1, FGF4, UTF1 and ZFP206. Critical for early embryogenesis and for embryonic stem cell pluripotency.
    • Tissue specificity

      Expressed in developing brain. Highest levels found in specific cell layers of the cortex, the olfactory bulb, the hippocampus and the cerebellum. Low levels of expression in adult tissues.
    • Sequence similarities

      Belongs to the POU transcription factor family. Class-5 subfamily.
      Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.
      Contains 1 POU-specific domain.
    • Developmental stage

      Highly expressed in undifferentiated embryonic stem cells and expression decreases gradually after embryoid body (EB) formation.
    • Domain

      The POU-specific domain mediates interaction with PKM2.
    • Post-translational
      modifications

      Sumoylation enhances the protein stability, DNA binding and transactivation activity. Sumoylation is required for enhanced YES1 expression.
      Ubiquitinated; undergoes 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination by WWP2 leading to proteasomal degradation.
    • Cellular localization

      Nucleus. Expressed in a diffuse and slightly punctuate pattern.
    • Target information above from: UniProt accession Q01860 The UniProt Consortium
      The Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) in 2010
      Nucleic Acids Res. 38:D142-D148 (2010) .

      Western blot - Human Oct4 peptide (ab20650)

      Anti-Oct4 antibody ab19857 only detected a band corresponding to the expected size of Oct-4 in human ES cell lysate. In mouse ES and EG cell lysates, ab19857 detected a band of approximately 55 kDa in addition to the expected 39 kDa Oct-4 band.

    Question

    I have an enquiry regarding your products; ab20650 and ab19857.
    I would like to confirm with you that ab20650 can be used to elute
    Oct4 proteins immunoprecipitated by ab19857.
    I would be most grateful if you could allow me yo know
    whether it is possible.

    Asked on Apr 24 2012

    Answer

    Thank you for contacting us.

    The peptide ab20650 has not been specifically validated for use eluting proteins that were immunoprecipitated using ab19857, but it should be suitable for this purpose when used at a high enough concentration. I would recommend allowing the column to drain completely and elutingthe bound protein with five one-column volume aliquots of a solution containing 100ug / mL peptide in TBS. I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any additional questions.
