It belongs to the M1 family of aminopeptidases and functions by cleaving amino acids from the N terminus of peptides and small proteins.\u003cp\u003eIn zebrafish, Npepps is broadly expressed during development and in adult tissues, with particularly strong expression in the brain, liver, and kidneys. Zebrafish Npepps is an ortholog of the human NPEPPS gene, and both proteins share conserved structural domains and enzymatic functions. The conservation between zebrafish and human Npepps supports its use as a model for studying the role of aminopeptidases in vertebrate biology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFunctionally, Npepps is involved in a variety of cellular processes, including neuropeptide metabolism, regulation of oxidative stress responses, and antigen presentation. It has also been implicated in the degradation of misfolded proteins and the clearance of damaged peptides, especially in the context of neurodegeneration and immune signaling. In zebrafish, knockdown or mutation of npepps can affect normal development, particularly in the central nervous system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of its high degree of evolutionary conservation and functional importance in proteostasis, zebrafish Npepps is frequently studied in models of neurodevelopment, protein metabolism, and cellular stress. It is also used to investigate mechanisms of protein degradation that are relevant to human conditions such as Alzheimer disease, inflammation, and cancer.\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+Npepps - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=Zebrafish+Npepps - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=Zebrafish+Npepps - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/Zebrafish+Npepps - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=Zebrafish+Npepps+review --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"0.5mg\/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53047329292653,"sku":"RZ1253","price":539.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_2f665cc2-898c-42cb-88f7-ea29f3fc3337.jpg?v=1772019467","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/zebrafish-npepps-antibody-aminopeptidase-bha17136448","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
