GlossaryOCT4

protein crucial for maintaining embryonic stem cell pluripotency

OCT4, also known as Octamer-binding transcription factor 4 or POU5F1, is a protein that plays a crucial role in maintaining the self-renewal and pluripotency of embryonic stem cells. It acts as a transcription factor, meaning it helps regulate the expression of genes that are essential for the development and differentiation of cells. This protein is significant in both developmental biology and regenerative medicine, as it helps scientists understand how cells can be reprogrammed to an undifferentiated state.
