Oct-2 rabbit polyclonal, anti-human, mouse, monkey

Backgroud: The protein encoded by this gene is a homeobox-containing transcription factor of the POU domain family. The encoded protein binds the octamer sequence 5'-ATTTGCAT-3', a common transcription factor binding site in immunoglobulin gene promoters. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011],function:Transcription factor that specifically binds to the octamer motif (5'-ATTTGCAT-3'). Regulates transcription in a number of tissues in addition to activating immunoglobulin gene expression. Modulates transcription transactivation by NR3C1, AR and PGR. Isoform 5 activates the U2 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) promoter.,similarity:Belongs to the POU transcription factor family. Class-2 subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.,similarity:Contains 1 POU-specific domain.,subunit:Interacts with NR3C1, AR and PGR.,tissue specificity:Isoform 3 is B-cell specific. Isoform 5 is expressed in B-cells and the immunoglobulin-expressing T-cell line Molt-4, but not in the T-cell line BW 5147.,
