Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human AQP1. AA range:101-150
Specificity
AQP1 Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of AQP1 protein.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. ELISA: 1/40000. Not yet tested in other applications.
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
This gene encodes a small integral membrane protein with six bilayer spanning domains that functions as a water channel protein. This protein permits passive transport of water along an osmotic gradient. This gene is a possible candidate for disorders involving imbalance in ocular fluid movement.

Function
domain:Aquaporins contain two tandem repeats each containing three membrane-spanning domains and a pore-forming loop with the signature motif Asn-Pro-Ala (NPA).,function: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.,miscellaneous:Pharmacologically inhibited by submillimolar concentrations of mercury.,online information:Blood group antigen gene mutation database,online information:Liquid states - Issue 36 of July 2003,polymorphism:AQP1 is responsible for the Colton blood group system. Approximately 92% of Caucasians are Co(A+B-) (Ala-46), approximately 8% are Co(A+B+), and only 0.2% are Co(A-B+) (Val-46). Co(A-B-) which is very rare, is due to a complete absence of AQP1.,similarity:Belongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) fa
