Zebrafish MX1 Antibody / MXA Antibody (RZ1393)

Zebrafish MX1 Antibody Antiviral Response WB. Western blot analysis of zebrafish head tissue lysate (lane 1), whole female zebrafish tissue lysate (lane 2), and whole male zebrafish tissue lysate (lane 3) using Zebrafish MX1 Antibody / MXA Antibody demonstrates a prominent band at approximately 73 kDa, consistent with the expected molecular weight of MXA. MXA is an interferon-inducible dynamin-like GTPase and a functional zebrafish ortholog of mammalian MX1 that plays a central role in innate antiviral immunity. Members of the Mx protein family are induced by interferon signaling and contribute to host defense by restricting viral replication and supporting antiviral response pathways. Additional lower molecular weight bands are observed in some tissue lysates and may represent processed protein species, alternative forms, or other factors influencing electrophoretic migration. Detection of MXA across multiple zebrafish tissue preparations is consistent with its role in innate immune regulation and antiviral defense mechanisms. Electrophoresis was performed on a 10% SDS-PAGE gel under reducing conditions with 30 µg of protein loaded per lane, followed by nitrocellulose transfer and HRP-ECL detection.
