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 #AAA542375) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Aquaporin 4 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunodepletion, Immunocompetition. Western Blot: 1:500 Other applications for this antibody is not determined. (Antibody dilution for this antibody is for reference only, investigators are expectedd to determine the optimal conditions). 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 "Aquaporin 4, Blocking Peptide" 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.
