Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets vitellogenin 2 precursor (gene vtg2) in zebrafish samples and is validated for IHC.
In zebrafish, Vtg2 is one of the vitellogenins, large lipoglycoproteins made in the liver of females. They are carried in the blood to the ovary and taken up by growing oocytes, where they are processed into yolk proteins that nourish the embryo. Vitellogenin induction in male fish is widely used as a biomarker of estrogenic compounds.

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).
