Function
This antibody targets GA3OX2, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of inactive gibberellin (GA) precursors, GA9 and GA20, into the bioactive gibberellins GA4 and GA1. This conversion is crucial for vegetative growth and development.

Tissue Specificity
Highly expressed in seedlings but also expressed in roots, leaves, stems, flowers, siliques and seeds. Detected predominantly in the hypocotyl and roots of young seedlings and in the petioles and vasculature of leaves. Not expressed in the shoot apical me
