General notes
ab240358 is the carrier-free version of ab200834.
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.
This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.
This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:
- - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
- - Improved sensitivity and specificity
- - Long-term security of supply
- - Animal-free production

Target
-
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
modificationsSumoylation 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. - Information by UniProt

ChIC/CUT&RUN was performed using a pAG-MNAse at a final concentration of 700 ng/µL, 2 x 10^5 NCCIT (Human pluripotent embryonic carcinoma cell line) cells and 5 µg of ab200834 [EPR17980]. The resulting DNA was sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 to a depth of 10 million reads. The negative IgG control ab172730 is also shown. The ChIP data was conducted on chromatin prepared from NCCIT cells. Cells were fixed with 1% formaldehyde for 10 minutes. ChIP was performed with 10^7 NCCIT cells and 8 µg of ab200834. ChIP DNA was sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 to a depth of 30 million reads.
