Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets acyl-CoA 6-desaturase (gene fads2) in zebrafish samples and is validated for Western blot.
In zebrafish, fads2 encodes a fatty acid desaturase with both delta-6 and delta-5 activities, unusual among vertebrates. This allows zebrafish to convert dietary essential fatty acids into long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, favoring n-3 substrates, and it is studied in fish lipid metabolism and nutrition.

| Reactivity | Zebrafish |
| Form | Lyophilized |
| Formulation | Per vial: 4 mg trehalose; 0.9 mg NaCl; 0.2 mg Na2HPO4 |
| Storage | As supplied: −20 °C for up to 12 months from receipt. After reconstitution: 4 °C for up to 1 month, or aliquot and keep at −20 °C for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles. |
Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Zebrafish) |
|---|
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): zebrafish head tissue, whole female zebrafish tissue, whole male zebrafish tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 10% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Recombinant zebrafish FADS2 fragment (Gln6–Thr418), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with zebrafish. UniProt places acyl-CoA 6-desaturase in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.

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).
