Product Name :
OCT4 monoclonal antibody Background :
Oct-4 (POU5F1) is a transcription factor highly expressed in undifferentiated embryonic stem cells and embryonic germ cells. A network of key factors that includes Oct-4, Nanog, and Sox2 is necessary for the maintenance of pluripotent potential, and downregulation of Oct-4 has been shown to trigger cell differentiation. Research studies have demonstrated that Oct-4 is a useful germ cell tumor marker . Oct-4 exists as two splice variants, Oct-4A and Oct-4B. Recent studies have suggested that the Oct-4A isoform has the ability to confer and sustain pluripotency, while Oct-4B may exist in some somatic, non-pluripotent cells. Product :
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide, pH 7.3. Storage&Stability :
Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. Specificity :
Recognizes endogenous levels of 44838 protein. Immunogen :
Purified recombinant mouse POU5F1/OCT4 protein fragments expressed in E.coli. Conjugate :
Unconjugated Modification :
Unmodification

Bioworld Biotech only provide peptides for our antibodies and do not provide additional peptide customization services.
Price/Size :
USD 368/1mg/vial
Tips:
For phospho antibody, we provide phospho peptide(0.5mg) and non-phospho peptide(0.5mg).Describe :
Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.Formula:
Synthetic peptide was lyophilized with 100% acetonitrile and is supplied as a powder. Reconstitute with 0.1 ml DI water for a final concentration of 10 mg/ml.The purity is >90%,tested by HPLC and MS.
Storage:
The freeze-dried powder is more stable. For short time at 2-8°C. For long term storage store at -20°C.
