Description

Omb Protein, Drosophila CAS NO 146635-31-6 is a highly purified recombinant protein derived from the fruit fly, *Drosophila melanogaster*, and is a critical research tool in developmental biology and genetics. This protein plays a fundamental role in the study of embryonic development, cell signaling, and gene regulation pathways. It is essential for academic, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology researchers focused on model organism studies, target discovery, and mechanistic biology.

Application

• Fundamental Developmental Biology Research: Used as a key reagent to study embryonic patterning, segmentation, and organogenesis in *Drosophila*.
• Cell Signaling Pathway Analysis: Employed in assays to investigate conserved signaling cascades (e.g., Hedgehog, Wnt) relevant to human development and disease.
• Protein-Protein Interaction Studies: Serves as a bait or prey protein in pull-down, co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), and yeast two-hybrid screens.
• Gene Regulation and Epigenetics: Utilized in chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and related techniques to understand transcriptional control mechanisms.
• Antibody Production and Validation: Acts as a high-purity antigen for generating and characterizing specific polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies.
• Biochemical Assay Development: Provides a standardized protein component for developing enzymatic or binding assays in vitro.
• Educational and Training Purposes: Supplied to teaching laboratories for advanced courses in molecular genetics and developmental biology.

Quality Control

Our Omb Protein, Drosophila is produced under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high biological activity. Each lot undergoes rigorous quality testing, including purity analysis by SDS-PAGE and HPLC, confirmation of identity by mass spectrometry, and functional activity assays. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request to support your research and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below in aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled in a dry environment.
