Description
Description: Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for Aquaporin-1(AQP1) detection. Tested with WB, IHC-P, IHC-F in Human, Mouse, Rat.
Background: Aquaporin 1 is a 28-kD integral protein though at first to be a breakdown product of the Rh polypeptide but was later shown to be a unique molecule that is abundant in erythrocytes and renal tubules. AQP1 is also expressed by the choroid plexus and various other tissues. It forms a water-specific channel that provides the plasma membranes of red cells and kidney proximal tubules with high permeability to water, thereby permitting water to move in the direction of an osmotic gradient
