Gene expression profiling in zebrafish tissues reveals associations with other genes, indicating potential functional pathways (Table 1) .
| Positive correlation (r-value) | Negative correlation (r-value) |
|---|---|
| BX537166.1 (0.252) | cldni (-0.064) |
| LOC101882645 (0.200) | cfl1l (-0.063) |
| CABZ01090219.1 (0.183) | col18a1a (-0.061) |
| slc39a8 (0.181) | epcam (-0.060) |
Key observations:
Positive correlates include transporters (e.g., slc39a8) and uncharacterized loci (e.g., LOC101882645), suggesting roles in metal ion homeostasis or developmental processes.
Negative correlates involve cell adhesion molecules (e.g., cldni, epcam), hinting at regulatory antagonism in epithelial or endothelial functions.
Zebrafish genes like zgc:112163 are frequently studied in developmental biology due to their transparency and genetic tractability.
Antibodies targeting zebrafish proteins enable spatial and temporal tracking of gene expression during embryogenesis .
Knowledge gaps: The biological role of zgc:112163 remains undefined. Knockout models paired with this antibody could clarify its involvement in zebrafish development or disease.
Technical considerations: Antibody validation in peer-reviewed studies is absent, necessitating independent verification for experimental reliability.
Although not directly related to zgc:112163, recent advances in antibody genomics highlight:
