AQP8 Polyclonal Antibody

Aquaporin 8 (AQP8) is a water channel protein. Aquaporins are a family of small integral membrane proteins related to the major intrinsic protein (MIP or AQP0).  Aquaporin 8 mRNA is found in pancreas and colon but not other tissues.

The AQP8 Polyclonal Antibody is a highly specific and sensitive antibody designed for the detection of Aquaporin 8 (AQP8) protein in various biological samples. This antibody is produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal region of human AQP8 protein. The AQP8 Polyclonal Antibody has been extensively validated for its specificity and sensitivity in various applications, including Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence.

The AQP8 protein is a member of the aquaporin family of water channel proteins, which play a critical role in the regulation of water homeostasis in various tissues and organs. AQP8 is primarily expressed in the liver, pancreas, and testis, where it facilitates the transport of water and glycerol across cell membranes. Dysregulation of AQP8 expression and function has been implicated in various pathological conditions, including liver disease, diabetes, and male infertility.

The AQP8 Polyclonal Antibody is a valuable tool for researchers studying the role of AQP8 in various physiological and pathological processes. Its high specificity and sensitivity ensure accurate and reliable detection of AQP8 protein in biological samples, enabling researchers to gain insights into the mechanisms underlying AQP8-mediated water and glycerol transport. With its proven performance and versatility, the AQP8 Polyclonal Antibody is an essential reagent for any laboratory investigating the function of AQP8 in health and disease.
