Overview
Zebrafish Lzic Antibody / Leucine zipper and ICAT homologous domain-containing protein is an antibody targeting LZIC, raised in Rabbit for protein detection and localization studies where these specifications are required.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: LZIC.
- Antibody identity: Polyclonal (rabbit origin); Rabbit Ig.
- Conjugate/label: Unconjugated (affects detection chemistry and multiplex compatibility).
- Format: Antigen affinity purified.
- Species reactivity: Zebrafish.
- Listed applications: IHC-P (refer to on-page specifications for application-specific guidance).
Biological background
LZIC is closely related to ICAT, a physiological inhibitor of the Wnt pathway that interacts physically and functionally with beta-catenin to prevent the transcription of Wnt target genes. LZIC's ICAT-homologous region is highly similar to ICAT with particular conservation of residues that are used by ICAT for beta-catenin-binding. LZIC does not interact with beta-catenin in vitro or in vivo. LZIC is a protein conserved in vertebrates, is required for neuronal survival.
Research relevance and current trends
- Comparative expression profiling across cell types, tissues, or perturbations (e.g., drug treatment, genetic editing, or differentiation).
- Subcellular localization and trafficking studies, including co-localization with pathway markers in microscopy-based assays.
- Integration of protein-level measurements with transcriptomics or proteomics to relate abundance to regulation and phenotype.
Common research applications
- Immunohistochemistry: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
Interpretation should account for antibody-dependent factors such as epitope accessibility, isoforms, and sample preparation differences across workflows.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and PTMs: many targets have multiple isoforms and post-translational modifications that can shift apparent signal or localization; interpret bands/signals accordingly.
- Epitope context: binding can depend on protein conformation and sample processing; region information in the title/immunogen can help anticipate what may be detected.
- Species differences: predicted or validated reactivity may vary by ortholog sequence and sample context; confirm in your model system.
- Control concepts: include negative controls (no-primary/isotype), and where possible genetic controls (KO/KD) or independent antibodies to strengthen conclusions.
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).
