Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects sonic hedgehog protein (gene shha) in zebrafish samples and is validated for Western blot and IHC.
In zebrafish, shha is the main sonic hedgehog gene, encoding a secreted morphogen that activates Smoothened signaling. Together with shhb it helps pattern the ear, the thalamus and prethalamus and many other embryonic tissues, and zebrafish shha is widely used to study Hedgehog signaling in development.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Zebrafish) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 2–5 µg/mL (Zebrafish) |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): zebrafish head tissue, whole female zebrafish tissue, whole male zebrafish tissue, zebrafish embryo 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.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): zebrafish brain tissue, zebrafish cerebellum tissue, zebrafish muscle tissue, zebrafish colon tissue, zebrafish embryo tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Immunogen
Recombinant zebrafish SHHA fragment (Gln208–His409), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with zebrafish. UniProt places sonic hedgehog protein in the Golgi apparatus membrane. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (zebrafish): Expressed in the ventral midline of the neural tube and brain. 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).
