Immunogen | GST fusion protein with residues 249-323 of rat Aquaporin 4 (SwissProt accession number P47863). |
Epitope | C-terminus |
Concentration | Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration. |
Host | Rabbit |
Specificity | Recognizes Aquaporin 4 (AQP4, WCH4, Mercurial-Insensitive Water Channel). |
Species Reactivity | |
Species Reactivity Note | Human, mouse, and rat. Reactivity with other species has not yet been tested. It is expected that the antibody may also react with bovine (71/75) and rabbit (64/75) due to sequence homology. |
Antibody Type | Polyclonal Antibody |
Entrez Gene Number | |
Entrez Gene Summary | This gene encodes a member of the aquaporin family of intrinsic membrane proteins that function as water-selective channels in the plasma membranes of many cells. The encoded protein is the predominant aquaporin found in brain. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. |
