Mouse Anti-POU5F1 (OCT3, OCT4, OTF3, POU Domain, Class 5, Transcription Factor 1, Octamer-binding Protein 3, Octamer-binding Protein 4, Octamer-binding Transcription Factor 3, MGC22487)
This gene encodes a transcription factor containing a POU homeodomain. This transcription factor plays a role in embryonic development, especially during early embryogenesis, and it is necessary for embryonic stem cell pluripotency. A translocation of this gene with the Ewing's sarcoma gene, t(6;22)(p21;q12), has been linked to tumor formation. Alternative splicing, as well as usage of alternative translation initiation codons, results in multiple isoforms, one of which initiates at a non-AUG (CUG) start codon. Related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 1, 3, 8, 10, and 12.
