Abstract excerpt
Octamer-binding transcription factor-4 (Oct4), a member of the POU domain transcription factors, is crucial for both early embryonic development and the maintenance of stem cell pluripotency. The human Oct4 (hOct4) 5' upstream sequence contains four conserved regions (CR1, 2, 3, 4) that are homologous in the murine. In this study, we constructed a series of deletion mutants of the hOct4 5' upstream region and...
