POU5F1

Developmental System · Stem Cell Pluripotency & Lineage Specification

Does POU5F1 mean my cells can become stem cells?

POU5F1 helps maintain the ability of embryonic stem cells to develop into different cell types. Finding this gene in a DNA report does not show that adult cells have that ability or establish a regenerative treatment.

Common Gene Name: POU class 5 homeobox 1
NCBI Gene ID: 5460
Chromosome: 6
