Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects importin subunit beta-1 (gene kpnb1) in zebrafish samples and is validated for Western blot.
Importin β1 (KPNB1) is the main receptor for nuclear protein import. It carries cargo either through importin α adapters that bind nuclear localization signals or by binding cargo directly, and it moves through the nuclear pore by interacting with FG-repeat nucleoporins. RanGTP inside the nucleus releases the cargo, and KPNB1 also helps organize the mitotic spindle; it is also studied in zebrafish.

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 Importin Beta/KPNB1 fragment (Glu8–Lys871), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with zebrafish. UniProt places importin subunit beta-1 in the cytoplasm and nucleus envelope. 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).
