AQP1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein aquaporin 1 (Colton blood group), which is encoded by the AQP1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in the cellular response to hypoxia. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 269 residues, a mass of 28.5 kDa, and is a member of the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is notably expressed in erythrocytes. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include CHIP28, CO, aquaporin-1, Colton blood group antigen, aquaporin 1 (channel-forming integral protein, 28kDa, CO blood group), and AQP-CHIP.
The detection range for different AQP1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 4.69 pg/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
