The Oct-4 gene encodes a transcription factor that is expressed in embryonic stem (ES) cells and germ cells. Oct-4 is known to function as a transcriptional activator of genes involved in maintaining an undifferentiated totipotent state and possibly in preventing expression of genes activated during differentiation.
