Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes protein lethal(2)essential for life (gene l(2)efl) in Fruit fly samples.
In Drosophila melanogaster, l(2)efl (lethal(2) essential for life) encodes a small heat shock protein of the α-crystallin family. Such proteins act as ATP-independent chaperones that help keep partially unfolded proteins from aggregating, and in the fruit fly this gene has been described as having an essential role in embryonic development.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
