Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of AQP9 in human serum, plasma, tissue homogenates.
Target Information: The aquaporins are a family of water-selective membrane channels. The protein encoded by this gene allows passage of a wide variety of noncharged solutes. It stimulates urea transport and osmotic water permeability\, there are contradicting reports about its role in providing glycerol permeability. The encoded protein may also play a role in specialized leukocyte functions such as immunological response and bactericidal activity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
