AQP4 Antibody, Aquaporin type4 Antibody, Aquaporin 4 Antibody, Aquaporin-4 Antibody, HMIWC2 Antibody, MIWC Antibody, WCH4 Antibody, AQP-4 Antibody Description: AQP4, also known as Mercurial-insensitive water channel (MIWC), is the fourth member of the aquaporin water channel family. This osmoreceptor regulates body water balance and mediates water flow within the central nervous system. It appears to play some specific role in the functioning of skeletal muscles, retina, and auditory system. Contrary to other aquaporin family members, AQP4 is not inhibited by mercurial compounds.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a member of 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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. A recent study provided evidence for translational readthrough in this gene and expression of an additional C-terminally extended isoform via the use of an alternative in-frame translation termination codon.

Product Notes

The AQP4 aqp4 (Catalog #AAA2400062) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-AQP4 / Aquaporin 4 Antibody (aa230-260) IHC-plus reacts with Mouse, Rat, Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's AQP4 / Aquaporin 4 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Paraffin, Western Blot (WB), ELISA (EIA). ELISA (1:10000) IHC-P (10 ug/ml) WB (1:500 - 1:1000). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the AQP4 aqp4 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "AQP4 / Aquaporin 4, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
