The transcription factor Oct4 is well defined as a key regulator of embryonic stem (ES) cell
pluripotency. In recent years, the role of Oct4 has purportedly extended to the self renewal …

Objectives: This study aims to establish whether the pluripotent embryonic stem cell marker
and nuclear transcription factor Oct‐4A isoform is expressed in human umbilical cord blood …

The transcription factor OCT4 (officially POU5F1; alternatively OCT3, OCT3/4, OTF3, and
OTF4) is currently considered a main regulator of human embryonic stem cell pluripotency …

The Oct‐4 transcription factor, a member of the POU family that is also known as Oct‐3 and
Oct3/4, is expressed in totipotent embryonic stem cells (ES) and germ cells, and it has a …

OCT4 is a master regulator of self-renewal in embryonic stem cells and can potentially
encode two spliced variants, designated OCT4A and OCT4B. We have examined the …

Octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (Oct4) encodes a POU-domain transcription factor
(Scholer et al., 1990). The gene is specifically expressed in embryonic stem (ES) cells but …

Our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying human embryonic stem cell
(hESC) self-renewal and differentiation is incomplete. The level of octamer-binding …

The OCT4A gene, a POU homeodomain transcription factor, has been shown to be
expressed in embryonic stem cells (ESC) as well as hUCB–MSCs. In this study, the roles …

The human OCT4 gene can generate at least three transcripts (OCT4A, OCT4B, and
OCT4B1) and four protein isoforms (OCT4A, OCT4B-190, OCT4B-265, and OCT4B-164) by …

The transcription factor OCT4 is expressed in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and has been
considered as a main regulator in maintaining pluripotency of ESCs. Several studies have …
