In zebrafish (Danio rerio), Vangl2 plays a vital role in embryonic morphogenesis, particularly in convergent extension movements during gastrulation, which are essential for body axis elongation.\u003cp\u003eZebrafish vangl2 is expressed early in development and is critical for establishing tissue polarity and directional cell migration. Mutations in vangl2-such as the well-studied trilobite mutant-lead to severe defects in neural tube formation, somite patterning, and organ positioning, making it a key model for understanding PCP signaling in vertebrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiven its high conservation and pivotal role in developmental processes, zebrafish Vangl2 is widely used to study cell polarity, tissue architecture, and congenital disorders such as neural tube defects. It also provides valuable insights into cytoskeletal organization, cell-cell communication, and signal integration during vertebrate development.\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\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e compare relative abundance and activation-state changes across conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunohistochemistry:\u003c\/strong\u003e map target signal in tissue context and compare regions\/phenotypes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\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=VANGL2 - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=VANGL2 - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=VANGL2 - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/VANGL2 - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=VANGL2+review --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"0.5mg\/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53047327621485,"sku":"RZ1196","price":539.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_a0fecf71-26c5-4cb8-818c-360008bc348c.jpg?v=1772019455","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/zebrafish-vangl2-antibody-vang-like-protein-2-bha17136391","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
