Zebrafish Vitellogenin 2 Antibody / VTG2 Antibody recognizes Vitellogenin 2 (VTG2), a yolk precursor protein that plays a critical role in oocyte maturation, embryonic nutrition, and reproductive physiology. Vitellogenins are large lipid-binding phosphoglycoproteins synthesized primarily in the liver under estrogen regulation and subsequently transported through the circulation to developing oocytes. Following uptake into maturing eggs, vitellogenins are processed into yolk proteins that provide essential nutrients required for embryonic growth and early development. Because vitellogenin production is closely linked to reproductive status and endocrine signaling, VTG2 serves as an important marker in reproductive biology and aquatic toxicology studies.
In zebrafish, VTG2 expression is strongly influenced by estrogen signaling pathways and reproductive activity. Female fish typically exhibit robust vitellogenin production during oocyte development, while expression in males is normally limited. Consequently, VTG2 is widely used as a biomarker for endocrine regulation, reproductive maturation, and exposure to estrogenic compounds. Researchers frequently evaluate VTG2 expression when investigating reproductive physiology, environmental toxicology, endocrine disruption, and developmental biology.
Vitellogenin proteins function as major nutrient reservoirs that support embryo development prior to independent feeding. In addition to providing amino acids, lipids, phosphates, and other nutrients, vitellogenins contribute to processes that influence egg quality and reproductive success. Because reproductive performance is closely tied to vitellogenin synthesis and deposition, VTG2 remains an important target in studies of fertility, developmental biology, and aquatic organism health.
Zebrafish provide an excellent model for investigating reproductive biology because of their rapid development, high fecundity, and well-characterized endocrine signaling pathways. Investigators commonly monitor VTG2 expression during studies of oogenesis, endocrine regulation, environmental monitoring, reproductive toxicology, and developmental physiology. The conservation of many reproductive signaling mechanisms among vertebrates makes zebrafish a valuable model for understanding broader aspects of reproductive function and endocrine biology.
At NSJ Bioreagents, we provide highly validated antibodies for reproductive biology, developmental biology, endocrinology, toxicology, and zebrafish research. Zebrafish Vitellogenin 2 Antibody / VTG2 Antibody targets a major yolk precursor protein involved in oocyte development and reproductive regulation. VTG2 expression is widely studied in the context of estrogen signaling, reproductive physiology, endocrine disruption, embryonic nutrition, and aquatic toxicology. Continued investigation of vitellogenin biology is expanding our understanding of reproductive function and developmental processes in vertebrate organisms.
This Zebrafish antibody is part of a broader Zebrafish / Danio rerio antibody panel offered by NSJ Bioreagents.
The optimal working dilution of the Zebrafish Vitellogenin 2 Antibody / VTG2 Antibody should be determined empirically by the investigator.
An E.coli-derived Zebrafish VTG2 recombinant protein (amino acids Q44-K855) was used as the immunogen for the Zebrafish VTG2 Antibody.
After reconstitution, the Zebrafish VTG2 Antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
