Zebrafish Hbae1.1 Antibody / Hemoglobin alpha embryonic 1.1

Hbae1.1 is expressed primarily in the intermediate cell mass, which is the site of primitive erythropoiesis in zebrafish embryos. It forms part of the embryonic hemoglobin complex that enables efficient oxygen delivery during rapid cell growth and organ formation. As development progresses, Hbae1.1 expression decreases while adult forms of hemoglobin become dominant. Due to its specific and transient expression pattern, Hbae1.1 is widely used as a molecular marker for primitive erythroid cells and early blood development in zebrafish. It provides a valuable readout for studying hematopoiesis, gene regulation during red blood cell formation, and the effects of genetic mutations or chemical exposures on early blood cell differentiation. Zebrafish Hbae1.1 is an important tool in developmental biology, hematology, toxicology, and genetic screening for blood related disorders.
