Background Information:
Octamer-4 (Oct-4), a member of the POU family of transcription factors, has been demonstrated to be vital for the formation of self-renewing pluripotent stem cells. During embryogenesis expression of Oct-4 is limited to pluripotent cells of the inner cell mass (ICM) that contribute to the formation of all fetal cell types. This relationship between Oct-4 and pluripotency has seen this transcription factor emerge as a marker of pluripotent stem cells. Undifferentiated human and murine pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) and embryonic carcinoma (EC) cells express Oct-4. Additionally, murine embryonic germ (EG) cells are also known to express Oct-4. Following stem cell differentiation, the level of Oct-4 expression decreases. Oct-4 expression by human EG cells is not known.

UniProt Summary:
FUNCTION:Transcription factor that binds to the octamer motif (5'-ATTTGCAT-3'). Forms a trimeric complex with SOX2 on DNA and controls the expression of a number of genes involved in embryonic development such as YES1, FGF4, UTF1 and ZFP206. Critical for early embryogenesis and for embryonic stem cell pluripotency By similarity.
SUBUNIT STRUCTURE:Interacts with UBE2I By similarity. Interacts with PKM2.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. Note: Expressed in a diffuse and slightly punctuate pattern.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in developing brain. Highest levels found in specific cell layers of the cortex, the olfactory bulb, the hippocampus and the cerebellum. Low levels of expression in adult tissues.
INDUCTION: Transcriptional activity is positively regulated by PKM2.
DOMAIN: The POU-specific domain mediates interaction with PKM2.
PTM: Sumoylation enhances the protein stability, DNA binding and transactivation activity. Sumoylation is required for enhanced YES1 expression By similarity.
MISCELLANEOUS: Several pseudogenes of POU5F1 have been described on chromosomes 1, 3, 8, 10 and 12. 2 of them, localized in chromosomes 8 and 10, are transcribed in cancer tissues but not in normal ones and may be involved in the regulation of POU5F1 gene activity in carcinogenesis.
SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES:Belongs to the POU transcription factor family. Class-5 subfamily.
Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.Contains 1 POU-specific domain.
