POU domain, class 3, transcription factor 1 (also known as Oct-6) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the POU3F1 gene. [3] [4]
Oct-4, also known as POU5F1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the POU5F1 gene. Oct-4 is a homeodomain transcription factor of the POU family. It is critically involved in the self-renewal of undifferentiated embryonic stem cells. As such, it is frequently used as a marker for undifferentiated cells. Oct-4 expression must be closely regulated; too much or too little will cause differentiation of the cells.
Homeobox protein NANOG is a transcriptional factor that helps embryonic stem cells (ESCs) maintain pluripotency by suppressing cell determination factors. Several types of cancer are associated with NANOG.
POU domain, class 1, transcription factor 1 , also known as POU1F1, is a transcription factor for growth hormone.
Octamer transcription factors are a family of transcription factors which binds to the "ATTTGCAT" DNA sequence. Their DNA-binding domain is a POU domain.
Oct-2 also known as POU domain, class 2, transcription factor 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the POU2F2 gene.
HNF1 homeobox A, also known as HNF1A, is a human gene on chromosome 12. It is ubiquitously expressed in many tissues and cell types. The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that is highly expressed in the liver and is involved in the regulation of the expression of several liver-specific genes. Mutations in the HNF1A gene have been known to cause diabetes. The HNF1A gene also contains one of 27 SNPs associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease.
High-mobility group protein HMG-I/HMG-Y is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HMGA1 gene.
POU domain, class 2, transcription factor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the POU2F1 gene.
Non-POU domain-containing octamer-binding protein (NonO) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NONO gene.
POU is a family of proteins that have well-conserved homeodomains.
High-mobility group protein B2 also known as high-mobility group protein 2 (HMG-2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HMGB2 gene.
POU domain class 2-associating factor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the POU2AF1 gene. The protein is also termed Oct coactivator from B cells, Oct binding factor 1, and, as commonly found in the literature, BOB1. BOB1 is a transcriptional coactivator which is expressed principally by B-cell lymphocytes and controls immunoglobulin and other genes critical for these cells expression of CD20, CRISP-3, and CD36. The expression of BOB1 has proven useful for identifying certain lymphomas as being B-cell lymphomas, as exemplified in studies which use BAB1 expression to help identify lymphomas as being diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, not otherwise specified.
Solute carrier family 22 member 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the gene SLC22A1.
POU domain, class 3, transcription factor 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the POU3F2 gene.
POU domain, class 4, transcription factor 1 (POU4F1) also known as brain-specific homeobox/POU domain protein 3A (BRN3A), homeobox/POU domain protein RDC-1 or Oct-T1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the POU4F1 gene.
POU domain, class 4, transcription factor 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the POU4F2 gene.
E74-like factor 5 , is a gene found in both mice and humans. In humans it is also called ESE2.
POU domain, class 2, transcription factor 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the POU2F3 gene.
POU domain, class 3, transcription factor 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the POU3F4 gene found on the X chromosome.
POU domain, class 4, transcription factor 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the POU4F3 gene.
