| Bioactivity | O4I1 is as a potent Oct3/4 inducer.Target: Oct3/4O4I1 enhances Oct3/4 gene expression, increases Oct3/4 protein levels, and promotes Oct3/4 mediated transcriptional activation. O4I1 activates Oct3/4 at the transcriptional and translational levels in diverse human cell lines. O4I1 promotes Oct3/4 expression in untransfected HEK293 cells quantified by qRT-PCR after 72 h of treatment. O4I1 is sufficient to enhance Oct3/4 overexpression 2-fold and 3-fold after 48 and 72 h of treatment, respectively. | ||||||||||||
