| Short Description: |
Aquaporin 7 Positive Control is synthetically produced from the sequence and is suitable for use in western blot applications. |
| Formulation: |
Provided as 100 uL ready-to-use, in SDS-PAGE sample buffer (Laemelli's buffer) containing Tris, pH 6.8, 1 % SDS, Glycerol and Bromophenolblue blue as tracking dye. The sample is reduced by adding 2% beta mercaptoethanol. The protein concentration is |
| Storage Instruction: |
Store at-20°C for long term storage. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Tissue Specificity | Detected in proximal tubules in kidney. Detected in the capillary network between muscle fibers in skeletal muscle and heart, and in spermatids and on spermatozoa tails in testis and epididymis. Detected in white and brown adipose tissue, especially on small blood vessels (at protein level). Detected in kidney and white adipose tissue. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylation by PKA could prevent the interaction with PLIN1. |
| Function | Aquaglyceroporins form homotetrameric transmembrane channels, with each monomer independently mediating glycerol and water transport across the plasma membrane along their osmotic gradient. Could also be permeable to urea. Mediates the efflux of glycerol, formed upon triglyceride hydrolysis, to avoid its accumulation in adipocytes and to make it available to other tissues. In the kidney, mediates the reabsorption of glycerol, preventing its loss in urine, again participating to energy homeostasis. In pancreatic beta cells, it also mediates the efflux of glycerol, regulating its intracellular levels. |
