OCT4-MHC Tight Linkage in Mammals: A Comparative Evo-Devo, Immunogenomic, and Topological Framework
2026-07-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> The mammalian gene encoding OCT4, POU5F1, lies in or immediately adjacent to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region. In humans, POU5F1 is located at 6p21.33 within the extended HLA/MHC genomic neighborhood; in mice, Pou5f1 is on chromosome 17 within the homologous MHC-linked region. Marsupial data further suggest that this association belongs to an ancient mammalian immune supercom...
