Aquaporin-4 Antibody Igg

Description: A monoclonal antibody for detection of Aquaporin 4 from Human, Mouse, Rat. This Aquaporin 4 antibody is for WB, IHC-P, IF. It is affinity-purified from mouse ascites by affinity-chromatography using the specific immunogenand is unconjugated. The antibody is produced in mouse by using as an immunogen synthetic peptide

Description: Aquaporin 4 is a protein encoded by the AQP4 gene which is approximately 34,8 kDa. Aquaporin 4 is localised to the cell membrane. It is involved in aquaporin-mediated transport, vasopressin-regulated water reabsorption and transport of glucose, bile salts, metal ions and amine compounds. This protein falls under the aquaporin family of intrinsic membrane proteins that function as water-selective channels in the plasma membranes of many cells. This protein is the predominant aquaporin found in brain and has an important role in brain water homeostasis. It acts as an osmoreceptor which regulates body water balance and mediates water flow within the central nervous system. Aquaporin 4 is expressed in the cells of the nervous system, lung, eye, muscle and blood. Mutations in the AQP4 gene may result in brain oedema. STJ96964 was developed from clone 4H1 and was affinity-purified from mouse ascites by affinity-chromatography using specific immunogen. This primary antibody detects endogenous Aquaporin 4 proteins.
