In zebrafish (Danio rerio), the bdnf gene encodes a protein highly conserved with its mammalian counterpart, sharing significant sequence and functional homology. Bdnf is critically involved in promoting the survival and differentiation of neurons, synaptic plasticity, and modulation of neurogenesis during development and in the adult brain.\u003cp\u003eExpression of Bdnf in zebrafish is observed early in embryogenesis and persists in various regions of the central nervous system, including the forebrain, optic tectum, and spinal cord. Zebrafish Bdnf interacts primarily with the high-affinity receptor TrkB (Ntrk2), activating intracellular signaling pathways such as PI3K-Akt, MAPK\/ERK, and PLC-γ, which are essential for neurotrophic support and synaptic function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the genetic tractability and optical transparency of zebrafish embryos, this model organism is widely used to investigate Bdnf-mediated neuronal development, behavior, and regeneration. Studies have also linked altered bdnf expression to stress responses, learning, and memory in zebrafish, highlighting its relevance in neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting protein-level changes to phenotype using orthogonal readouts (genetic perturbation, transcriptomics, imaging).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsidering isoforms and post-translational regulation when interpreting protein-level changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparing results across species and model systems with matched controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e compare relative abundance and activation-state changes across conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunohistochemistry:\u003c\/strong\u003e map target signal in tissue context and compare regions\/phenotypes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpret changes in signal alongside appropriate controls and, when relevant, in parallel with total-protein or pathway readouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal can reflect expression level, isoform composition, and post-translational state; interpret results in the context of your model system and stimuli.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies differences and sample matrices can influence epitope recognition; prioritize matched controls and orthogonal confirmation when feasible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntibody notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyclonal antibodies recognize multiple epitopes, which can broaden the epitope footprint and may increase sensitivity in some contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt search — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb?query=Zebrafish+Bdnf - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=Zebrafish+Bdnf - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=Zebrafish+Bdnf - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/Zebrafish+Bdnf - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=Zebrafish+Bdnf+review --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"0.5mg\/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53047327457645,"sku":"RZ1177","price":539.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_c41c9edf-b6e2-448e-b1f6-0bdf79e476d9.jpg?v=1772019453","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/zebrafish-bdnf-antibody-brain-derived-neurotrophic-factor-bha17136372","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
