Analysis Note

ControlWhole cell lysate from mouse embryonic stem cells

Application

Research CategoryStem Cell Research

Western blotting: 1:1,000-1:5,000. The antibody recognizes a protein of ~35 kDa on MBL-5 cell lysate. Additional bands of ~50 and ~60 kDa may be seen depending on sample and antibody dilution used.

General description

NANOG is a gene expressed in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and is thought to be a key factor in maintaining pluripotency. NANOG thought to function in concert with other factors such as POU5F1 and SOX2 to establish ESC identity. These cells offer an important area of study because of their ability to maintain pluripotency. In other words, these cells have the ability to become virtually any cell of any of the three germ layers (endoderm, ectoderm, mesoderm).
