Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects pro-neuropeptide Y (gene npy) in zebrafish samples and is validated for IHC.
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36-amino-acid peptide and one of the most abundant neuropeptides in the brain, also released by sympathetic neurons. Acting through Y-family G protein-coupled receptors, it strongly stimulates food intake and also affects stress, anxiety, circadian rhythms and blood vessel tone. NPY is widely studied in energy balance and neuroscience.

| 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 brain tissue, zebrafish kidney tissue, zebrafish liver tissue, zebrafish colon tissue, zebrafish muscle tissue, zebrafish eye tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Immunogen
Recombinant zebrafish Neuropeptide Y/NPY fragment (Gly28–Gln62), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with zebrafish. UniProt describes pro-neuropeptide Y 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).
