It consists of a common alpha subunit and a hormone-specific beta subunit, the latter conferring biological specificity. In zebrafish (Danio rerio), the Lhb gene encodes the beta subunit of LH and plays a key role in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis.\u003cp\u003eZebrafish Lhb is produced by gonadotrope cells in the anterior pituitary and is essential for triggering final oocyte maturation and ovulation in females, as well as steroidogenesis and spermatogenesis in males. Its expression is tightly regulated by gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and modulated by sex steroids through feedback mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe zebrafish model has been instrumental in dissecting the molecular and developmental regulation of lhb expression. Notably, Lhb mRNA becomes detectable during larval stages and increases during sexual maturation. Functional studies using gene knockout and reporter lines have demonstrated that Lhb is indispensable for fertility, and its disruption results in reproductive failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its conserved structure and function, zebrafish Lhb serves as a valuable model for studying reproductive endocrinology, pituitary cell differentiation, and hormone signaling pathways in vertebrates.\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\u003eImmunohistochemistry:\u003c\/strong\u003e map target signal in tissue context and compare regions\/phenotypes.\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+Luteinizing+hormone+beta - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=Zebrafish+Luteinizing+hormone+beta - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=Zebrafish+Luteinizing+hormone+beta - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/Zebrafish+Luteinizing+hormone+beta - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=Zebrafish+Luteinizing+hormone+beta+review --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"0.5mg\/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53047326966125,"sku":"RZ1179","price":539.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_1c2cf21d-452e-4a92-a91a-e7dda3df0658.jpg?v=1772019454","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/zebrafish-luteinizing-hormone-beta-antibody-lhb-bha17136374","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
