Parvalbumin

ABOUT THIS ANTIBODY

anti-Parvalbumin labels .

Parvalbumin is a calcium-binding albumin protein found in brain and muscle. This antibody has relatively sparse labelling in the larval zebrafish brain. It nicely labels the olfactory epithelium, olfactory sensory nerve processes and the olfactory nerves, neuromasts of the lateral line system, amacrine cells in the retina and a subset of purkinje cells in the cerebellum and the pituitary. Parvalbumin also labels neurons in the optic tectum at adult stages (Robra et al., 2016).
