Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E.coli-derived human Oct-1 recombinant protein (Position: S11-Q240). Human Oct-1 shares 96% and 99% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat Oct-1, respectively. (reported region: S11-Q240).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 90 kDa; calculated MW: 76472 MW
- Reactivity: Human
- Applications: IHC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
POU domain, class 2, transcription factor 1; POU domain, class 2, transcription factor 1. POU domain, class 2, transcription factor 1, also known as OTF1 or OCT1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the POU2F1 gene. The POU2F1 transcription factor was among the first identified members of the POU transcription factor family. This gene is mapped to 1q24.1 to q24.2. It has been found that the POU dimer from the POU2F1 gene formed on the palindromic OCT factor recognition element, or PORE (ATTTGAAATGCAAAT), could recruit the transcriptional coactivator OBF1 , whereas POU dimers formed on the consensus MORE (more PORE) (ATGCATATGCAT) or on MOREs from immunoglobulin heavy chain promoters (AT[G/A][C/A]ATATGCAA) failed to interact. POU domain proteins contain a bipartite DNA-binding domain divided by a flexible linker that enables them to adopt various monomer configurations on DNA. Functional note: Transcription factor that binds to the octamer motif (5'-ATTTGCAT-3') and activates the promoters of the genes for some small nuclear RNAs (snRNA) and of genes such as those for histone H2B and immunoglobulins. Modulates transcription transactivation by NR3C1, AR and PGR (By similarity). In case of human herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection, POU2F1 forms a multiprotein-DNA complex with the viral transactivator protein VP16 and HCFC1 thereby enabling the transcription of the viral immediate early genes. . Reported localization: Nucleus. Expression/tissue context: Ubiquitous. Isoform 2 is lymphocyte-specific.
