Structure and expression pattern of Oct4 gene are conserved in vole Microtus rossiaemeridionalis.

BACKGROUND: Oct4 is a POU-domain transcriptional factor which is essential for maintaining pluripotency in several mammalian species. The mouse, human, and bovine Oct4 orthologs display a high conservation of nucleotide sequence and genomic organization. RESULTS: Here we report an isolation of a com...
