General description

Zinc finger and SCAN domain containing protein 4, also called Zscan4, is an embryonic stem (ES) cell-specific transcription factor required to regulate pluripotency. Zscan4 binds and regulates telomere elongation in order to maintain genomic stability and acts as an activator of spontaneous telomere sister chromatid exchange (T-SCE) in undifferentiated ES cells.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to mouse Zscan4.

Target description

~65 kDa observed. The calculated molecular weight of this protein is 57 kDa An uncharacterized band may be observed at ~50 kDa in some cell lysates.ZSCAN4 bands may be observed at both ~72 kDa and ~40 kDa when preparing cell lysates with SDS buffer. Additionally, a ZSCAN4 doublet may be observed at ~72 kDa when using cytosolic or nuclear extracts.
