Analysis of Oct4-dependent transcriptional networks regulating self-renewal and pluripotency in human embryonic stem cells [PDF]
, 2006 The POU domain transcription factor OCT4 is a key regulator of pluripotency in the early mammalian embryo and is highly expressed in the inner cell mass of the blastocyst. Consistent with its essential role in maintaining pluripotency, Oct4 expression is
