Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects fibroblast growth factor (gene fgf20a) in zebrafish samples and is validated for IHC.
In zebrafish, fgf20a is a fibroblast growth factor gene best known for its role in fin regeneration: mutants lacking it fail to form a regeneration blastema after fin amputation. It is therefore studied as a signal needed to start tissue regeneration in zebrafish.
| Target | Fibroblast growth factor (gene fgf20a; UniProt Q38PL0, zebrafish) |
|---|---|
| Host / Clonality / Isotype | Rabbit / Polyclonal / Rabbit IgG |
| 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
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 2–5 µg/mL (Zebrafish) |
|---|
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): zebrafish bone tissue, zebrafish kidney tissue, zebrafish brain tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Immunogen
Recombinant zebrafish FGF20A fragment (Ser10–Ser208), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with zebrafish. UniProt describes fibroblast growth factor as a secreted protein.

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).
