Rabbit polyclonal antibody anti-AQP4 is suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry and Western Blot research applications. |
| Clonality: |
Polyclonal |
| Conjugation: |
Unconjugated |
| Isotype: |
IgG |
| Formulation: |
Lyophilised |
| Purification: |
IgG purified |
| Dilution Range: |
IHC, WB. A dilution of 1:1000 is recommended. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications. |
| Storage Instruction: |
Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at-20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, Glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles. |
| Gene Symbol: |
Aqp4 |
| Gene ID: |
11829 |
| Uniprot ID: |
AQP4_MOUSE |
| Specificity: |
Specific for AQP4. |
| Immunogen: |
A synthetic peptide from mouse AQP4 conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen. The peptide is homologous in rat. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylation by PKC at Ser-180 reduces conductance by 50%. Phosphorylation by PKG at Ser-111 in response to glutamate increases conductance by 40%.this increase is not due to increased presence at the cell membrane. Isoform 2: Palmitoylated on its N-terminal region. Isoform 1: Not palmitoylated. |
| Function | Forms a water-specific channel. Plays an important role in brain water homeostasis and in glymphatic solute transport. Required for a normal rate of water exchange across the blood brain interface. Required for normal levels of cerebrospinal fluid influx into the brain cortex and parenchyma along paravascular spaces that surround penetrating arteries, and for normal drainage of interstitial fluid along paravenous drainage pathways. Thereby, it is required for normal clearance of solutes from the brain interstitial fluid, including soluble beta-amyloid peptides derived from APP. Plays a redundant role in urinary water homeostasis and urinary concentrating ability. |
