- Format: Antigen affinity purified
- Applications (as listed): WB
Biological background
Sox3 is maternally deposited and is expressed in the neuroectoderm during early development. It acts as a transcriptional activator that promotes neural fate by regulating genes involved in progenitor cell maintenance and inhibiting premature neuronal differentiation. Sox3 also contributes to the development of the pituitary gland, sensory placodes, and hypothalamic structures.
Due to its conservation across vertebrates, zebrafish Sox3 serves as a powerful model for studying neurogenesis, pluripotency, and transcriptional regulation during early embryonic development. It is also used to investigate mechanisms of cell fate decisions, stem cell biology, and congenital neurological disorders.
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
- Western blotting: compare relative abundance and activation-state changes across conditions.
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.
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).
