Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects protein myomaker (gene mymk) in zebrafish samples and is validated for IHC.
In zebrafish, myomaker (mymk) is a multi-pass membrane protein of fusing myoblasts that is essential for their fusion into multinucleated muscle fibers. It drives the early lipid-mixing (hemifusion) step and works together with myomixer, and zebrafish is a key model for studying it during muscle development.

Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): zebrafish skeletal muscle tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with zebrafish. UniProt places protein myomaker in the cell membrane.

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).
