Zebrafish Vitamin D Binding Protein Antibody / VDBP recognizes Vitamin D Binding Protein (VDBP), a multifunctional plasma glycoprotein encoded by the GC (group-specific component) gene and best known for its role in the transport and bioavailability of vitamin D metabolites. VDBP binds circulating vitamin D compounds with high affinity, including 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and serves as the primary carrier responsible for their distribution throughout the body. Beyond vitamin D transport, VDBP participates in actin scavenging, immune regulation, inflammatory responses, and tissue homeostasis. The conservation of vitamin D signaling pathways among vertebrates has made zebrafish an increasingly valuable model for investigating the biological functions of VDBP during development, physiology, and disease.
Vitamin D signaling regulates numerous cellular processes including calcium homeostasis, skeletal development, cellular differentiation, and metabolic function. By controlling the transport and availability of vitamin D metabolites, VDBP plays an essential role in maintaining appropriate vitamin D activity within target tissues. In zebrafish, vitamin D-associated pathways contribute to bone mineralization, growth, endocrine regulation, and developmental patterning. Consequently, expression of VDBP is frequently examined in studies investigating nutrient metabolism, skeletal biology, developmental physiology, and environmental influences on vertebrate health.
In addition to its role as a carrier protein, VDBP functions as an important component of the extracellular actin scavenging system. Following tissue injury or cellular damage, actin released into the circulation can contribute to vascular dysfunction and inflammatory complications. VDBP binds extracellular actin and facilitates its clearance, helping maintain vascular integrity and tissue homeostasis. This activity has attracted considerable interest in studies examining wound healing, tissue regeneration, inflammatory disease, and stress responses. Because zebrafish possess remarkable regenerative capabilities, VDBP represents a potentially informative target for investigations of injury-associated biological pathways and recovery mechanisms.
Emerging evidence also supports broader immunological functions for VDBP. The protein has been implicated in modulation of innate immune responses, leukocyte recruitment, macrophage activation, and inflammatory signaling pathways. These activities extend the biological significance of VDBP beyond vitamin transport and position it as an important mediator linking metabolism, immunity, and tissue maintenance. Researchers studying host defense mechanisms, inflammatory regulation, and environmental stress responses frequently evaluate VDBP expression as part of broader investigations into vertebrate physiological adaptation.
At NSJ Bioreagents, we provide highly validated antibodies for developmental biology, metabolism, endocrinology, and zebrafish research applications. Zebrafish Vitamin D Binding Protein Antibody / VDBP targets a key regulator of vitamin D transport and systemic nutrient homeostasis. VDBP expression is widely studied in the context of vitamin D metabolism, skeletal development, immune regulation, tissue repair, and physiological adaptation. Continued investigation of this multifunctional carrier protein is expanding our understanding of how vitamin D-associated pathways contribute to vertebrate development, health, and disease.
This Zebrafish antibody is part of a broader Zebrafish / Danio rerio antibody panel offered by NSJ Bioreagents.
The optimal working dilution of the Zebrafish Vitamin D Binding Protein Antibody / VDBP should be determined empirically by the investigator.
An E.coli-derived Zebrafish Vitamin D binding protein/GC recombinant protein (amino acids D20-A465) was used as the immunogen for the Zebrafish Vitamin D Binding Protein Antibody.
After reconstitution, the Zebrafish Vitamin D Binding Protein Antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
