In zebrafish (Danio rerio), Chordin is a key dorsalizing factor that helps establish the dorsoventral axis during gastrulation, contributing to proper tissue patterning and organogenesis.\u003cp\u003eChordin functions by binding directly to BMP ligands (such as Bmp2 and Bmp4), preventing them from interacting with their receptors and thereby inhibiting BMP signaling activity in dorsal regions of the embryo. The zebrafish chordin gene is expressed in the organizer region (shield) during early development, and its activity is essential for the formation of dorsal structures such as the notochord, neural plate, and somites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoss-of-function mutations in chordin lead to ventralized phenotypes, while overexpression can result in dorsalization, underscoring its importance as a morphogen regulator. Due to its highly conserved function across vertebrates, zebrafish Chordin is widely used in studies of axis specification, morphogen gradients, neural induction, and BMP pathway modulation.\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\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e compare relative abundance and activation-state changes across conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\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+Chordin - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=Zebrafish+Chordin - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=Zebrafish+Chordin - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/Zebrafish+Chordin - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=Zebrafish+Chordin+review --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"0.5mg\/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53047327883629,"sku":"RZ1209","price":539.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_121ab126-6869-48eb-8c49-e2b0d63da137.jpg?v=1772019456","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/zebrafish-chordin-antibody-chd-chrd-bha17136404","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
