AQP2 antibody is human, mouse and rat reactive. This antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other members of the aquaporin protein family.
Purification
AQP2 antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
AQP2 antibody was raised against a 19 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human AQP2. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of AQP2.
AQP2 antibody can be used for detection of AQP2 by Western blot at 1 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for Immunohistochemistry starting at 5 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples, Immunohistochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

Aquaporins are membrane proteins that serve in the transfer of water and small solutes across cellular membranes. One such aquaporin, aquaporin-2 (AQP2) is located in the kidney collecting tubule and plays a critical role in water reabsorbtion (1). AQP2 is mainly localized in intracellular vesicles but upon stimulation with anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), AQP2 is translocated to the apical plasma membrane by exocytic fusion of AQP2-bearing vesicles (2). Mutations in this gene have been linked to autosomal dominant and recessive forms of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (3).
