GCNF (Germ Cell Nuclear Factor), also known as NR6A1 (Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 6 Group A member), is an orphan member of the nuclear receptor gene superfamily. It has been shown to be expressed in the nervous system during development and during specific stages in maturing germ cells of the ovary and testis in the adult, and has probable roles in ametogenesis, neurogenesis, and normal embryonic development during gastrulation. Inactivation of GCNF in mouse results in abnormal posterior development, impaired midbrain development, insufficient closure of the neural tube, and eventual embryonic death. GCNF has been shown to be a repressor of OCT-4 and of the protamine genes and plays a critical role in the control of gene expression during embryogenesis and spermatogenesis.

Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
