Nanog Products

Description

Nanog is one of the molecular markers suitable for recognizing the undifferentiated state of stem cells in the mouse and human. Nanog is a divergent homeodomain protein that directs propagation of undifferentiated ES cells. Nanog mRNA is present in pluripotent mouse and human cell lines, and absent from differentiated cells. Nanog-deficient ES cells lose pluripotency and differentiate into extraembryonic endoderm lineage.

Sox2 and Oct4: Roles in Embryonic Stem Cell Pluripotency Embryonic stem (ES) cells are cells derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst, an early-stage embryo. ES cells are distinguished from other cells due to their pluripotency, which is the ability to differentiate into any different type of cell...    Read more.
