Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) serves as a critical water channel protein that facilitates rapid osmotic water transport across cell membranes, playing essential roles in kidney proximal tubule function, red blood cell physiology, and fluid homeostasis throughout the body. As a member of the aquaporin family, AQP1 is also recognized as the molecular basis for the Colton blood group antigen system, making it relevant to both basic cell biology and translational research in renal physiology, vascular biology, and beyond.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated from clone 19G6 in rabbit host, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding experimental workflows require. Because recombinant antibodies are produced from defined sequences rather than traditional hybridoma methods, researchers benefit from lot-to-lot uniformity that supports longitudinal studies and ensures reliable results across experiments.
Validation testing demonstrates robust performance across multiple applications. In western blot analysis of NIH/3T3 whole cell lysate, the antibody detects a band at approximately 40 kDa when used at 1:1000 dilution. While the predicted molecular weight for AQP1 is 29 kDa, the observed higher molecular weight is consistent with post-translational glycosylation commonly reported for this membrane protein. For immunohistochemistry, the antibody has been validated in paraffin-embedded human pancreatic tissue at 1:100 dilution using citrate buffer antigen retrieval, producing clear specific staining. The antibody demonstrates cross-species reactivity with both human and mouse samples, offering flexibility for researchers working across model systems.
Whether investigating water transport mechanisms, studying signal transduction pathways, or exploring tissue-specific expression patterns, this antibody provides a reliable tool for AQP1 detection in your research.
