| Gene Symbol | Pou5f1 |
| Gene Full Name | POU domain, class 5, transcription factor 1 |
| Background | The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the POU domain family of transcription factors. POU domain transcription factors bind to a specific octamer DNA motif and regulate cell type-specific differentiation pathways. The encoded protein plays a key role in embryonic development and stem cell pluripotency. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015] |
| 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. [UniProt] |
| Research Area | Developmental Biology antibody; Gene Regulation antibody |
| Calculated MW | 38.2 kDa (NP_038661.2) |
| PTM | Sumoylation enhances the protein stability, DNA binding and transactivation activity. Sumoylation is required for enhanced YES1 expression (By similarity). Ubiquitinated; undergoes 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination by WWP2 leading to proteasomal degradation. ERK1/2-mediated phosphorylation at Ser-111 promotes nuclear exclusion and proteasomal degradation. Phosphorylation at Thr-235 and Ser-236 decrease DNA-binding and alters ability to activate transcription. |
