Description

OAC2 is an Oct4-activating compound which activates expression through the Oct4 gene promoter.

In Vitro

Octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (Oct4) is a master regulator of the induction and maintenance of cellular pluripotency, and has crucial roles in early stages of differentiation. It is the only factor that cannot be substituted by other members of the same protein family to induce pluripotency^[1]. Oct4 has been shown to be an essential regulator of embryonic stem cell (ESC) pluripotency and key to the reprogramming process. OAC2 is a structural analog of OAC1. OAC2 activates both Oct4 and Nanog reporters to a similar extent as OAC1. OAC1 and its two structural analogs OAC2 and OAC3 enhances reprogramming efficiency fourfold, up to as high as 2.75%, and accelerates the appearance of iPSC colonies 3 to 4 d when used in combination with the four reprogramming factors, Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc^[2].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Help & FAQs

Do most proteins show cross-species activity?
Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
