Zebrafish Cyp11a1.1 Antibody / Cyp11a1

Cyp11a1.1 is primarily expressed in steroidogenic tissues such as the interrenal gland, which is the functional equivalent of the adrenal gland in mammals, as well as in the gonads and brain. Its expression begins early in development and is tightly regulated by hormonal signals and developmental cues. Proper function of Cyp11a1.1 is essential for regulating processes such as stress response, growth, metabolism, and reproductive development. Zebrafish Cyp11a1.1 is highly conserved and widely used in studies of endocrine system development, steroid biosynthesis, and hormone-related disorders. It is also a valuable model for understanding the molecular effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals and for screening compounds that target steroidogenic pathways.
