Description

General description

Aquaporin-4 (AQP-4) is also known as Mercurial-insensitive water channel. AQP-4 is an osmoreceptor which regulates body water balance and mediates water flow within the central nervous system. It is expressed predominantly in the mature brain, but also in the eye, kidney, intestine and lung. AQP-4 is a multi-pass membrane protein that is part of a complex along with MLC1, TRPV4, HEPACAM and ATP1B1.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes the cytoplasmic domain of Aquaporin-4.

Immunogen

Epitope: Cytoplasmic domain

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the cytoplasmic domain of rat Aquaporin-4.

Application

Anti-Aquaporin-4 is an antibody targeting the Aquaporin-4 protein, validated for use in WB.
