Species Reactivity: Human Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro150 of human OCA-T1 protein. Background OCA-T1 is encoded by the gene ( ), which was identified in a single-cell RNA sequencing study to be expressed selectively in tuft cells from mouse and human tissues (1). The expression of OCA-T1 was observed to occur in a pattern strikingly similar to that of POU2F3, a master regulator of tuft cell development whose expression also defines a tuft cell-like variant (SCLC-P) of small cell lung cancers (2). Although containing no recognizable structural domains, OCA-T1 showed minor sequence similarity with OCA-B, a protein encoded by the gene and reported to be an activator of selected Class II POU domain transcription factors (3). Functional studies revealed that OCA-T1 forms a protein complex with POU2F3; these proteins furthermore share genomic binding sites and promote the expression of genes directly associated with tuft cell development. Lastly, Crispr/Cas9-mediated deletion of in mice revealed that OCA-T1 is functionally required for normal tuft cell development (1). Collectively, these findings suggest that OCA-T1 is a critical component of the POU2F3-containing transcriptional complex that regulates the expression of genes governing tuft cell development.
