It catalyzes the reversible transamination of ornithine to glutamate semialdehyde, which is an important intermediate in nitrogen and energy metabolism.\u003cp\u003eIn zebrafish, ornithine aminotransferase is expressed in multiple tissues including the liver, kidney, brain, and eye, reflecting its essential role in cellular homeostasis and metabolic balance. The zebrafish ornithine aminotransferase gene is an ortholog of the human OAT gene. Both proteins share high sequence similarity and conserved functional domains, supporting the use of zebrafish as a model for studying OAT related biology and disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFunctionally, ornithine aminotransferase is critical for regulating the intracellular balance of ornithine and proline, which are important for collagen synthesis, antioxidant responses, and retinal function. In humans, mutations in the OAT gene are associated with a rare metabolic disorder known as gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina, which leads to progressive vision loss. Zebrafish models have been used to study the developmental and physiological consequences of OAT deficiency, especially in ocular and hepatic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its evolutionary conservation and key metabolic functions, zebrafish ornithine aminotransferase is a valuable target in research areas including developmental biology, metabolism, neurobiology, and genetic disease modeling.\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+Ornithine+aminotransferase - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=Zebrafish+Ornithine+aminotransferase - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=Zebrafish+Ornithine+aminotransferase - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/Zebrafish+Ornithine+aminotransferase - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=Zebrafish+Ornithine+aminotransferase+review --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"0.5mg\/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53047329685869,"sku":"RZ1255","price":539.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_ade29268-af0e-4f46-84e1-ad3c2629b71c.jpg?v=1772019468","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/zebrafish-ornithine-aminotransferase-antibody-oat-bha17136450","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
