Key elements and design rationale
- Target: IGF1
- Antibody details: Rabbit, Polyclonal (rabbit origin), isotype Rabbit Ig
- Format: Antigen affinity purified
- Applications (as listed): IHC-P
Biological background
IGF1 is produced mainly in the liver and acts both locally and systemically through endocrine and paracrine signaling. It mediates many of the growth promoting effects of growth hormone and functions by binding to its specific receptor on the cell surface, triggering downstream signaling pathways that influence cell cycle progression, protein synthesis, and apoptosis inhibition.
In zebrafish, insulin like growth factor 1 is involved in the development of multiple organs including the brain, heart, and skeletal muscle. It also supports fin regeneration and contributes to recovery from injury by promoting cell proliferation and tissue remodeling. IGF1 expression is sensitive to nutritional status and environmental factors, making it a key biomarker for growth and metabolic studies.
Due to its strong conservation across vertebrates and its broad physiological importance, zebrafish insulin like growth factor 1 is widely used in research related to developmental biology, growth regulation, endocrine function, metabolic disease, and regenerative medicine.
Research relevance and current trends
- Connecting protein-level changes to phenotype using orthogonal readouts (genetic perturbation, transcriptomics, imaging).
- Considering isoforms and post-translational regulation when interpreting protein-level changes.
- Comparing results across species and model systems with matched controls.
Common research applications
- Immunohistochemistry: map target signal in tissue context and compare regions/phenotypes.
Interpret changes in signal alongside appropriate controls and, when relevant, in parallel with total-protein or pathway readouts.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Signal can reflect expression level, isoform composition, and post-translational state; interpret results in the context of your model system and stimuli.
- Species differences and sample matrices can influence epitope recognition; prioritize matched controls and orthogonal confirmation when feasible.
Antibody notes: Polyclonal antibodies recognize multiple epitopes, which can broaden the epitope footprint and may increase sensitivity in some contexts.
