Overview
Zebrafish Vps53 Antibody / Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 53 is an antibody targeting VPS53, raised in Rabbit for protein detection and localization studies where these specifications are required.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: VPS53 (reported localization: Cytoplasm).
- 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
Predicted to be involved in retrograde transport, endosome to Golgi. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and endosome membrane. Predicted to be part of GARP complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 2E. Orthologous to human VPS53 (VPS53 subunit of GARP complex).
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).
