Zebrafish Igf2a Antibody / Igf2 / Insulin-like growth factor 2

Igf2a functions by binding to the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R), activating downstream signaling pathways such as PI3K-Akt and MAPK/ERK, which promote anabolic processes and inhibit apoptosis. In zebrafish, igf2a is expressed during early development and in growing tissues such as the heart, liver, and muscle, and has been shown to influence myogenesis, neurogenesis, and organ size regulation. Due to its importance in growth and regenerative pathways, zebrafish Igf2a is widely used as a model for studying developmental biology, metabolic regulation, and growth-related disorders. It is also of interest in research on wound healing, cardiac regeneration, and tumor biology.
