Verification Images

  • Experimental Validation Results for Aquaporin 4 Antibody
    Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded mouse brain tissue using Aquaporin 4 Antibody. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 8 minutes. The tissues were blocked in QuickBlock for 20 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody at 1/100 dilution in 4℃ overnight. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

  • Experimental Validation Results for Aquaporin 4 Antibody
    Flow cytometric analysis of 1X106 Ramos cells labeling Aquaporin 4 Antibody(HY-P83459A, red). Cells were stained with the primary antibody at 1μg/Test dilution for an hour at 4℃. AF488-conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HY-P8002) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution for 30 minutes at 4℃. Rabbit IgG Isotype Control (HY-P80879, blue) was used as the isotype control, cells without incubation with primary antibody were used as the unlabeled control (black).

Background

  • Function

    Aquaporin 4 forms a water-specific channel. Plays an important role in brain water homeostasis and in glymphatic solute transport. Required for a normal rate of water exchange across the blood brain interface. Required for normal levels of cerebrospinal fluid influx into the brain cortex and parenchyma along paravascular spaces that surround penetrating arteries, and for normal drainage of interstitial fluid along paravenous drainage pathways. Thereby, it is required for normal clearance of solutes from the brain interstitial fluid, including soluble beta-amyloid peptides derived from APP. Plays a redundant role in urinary water homeostasis and urinary concentrating ability[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].

  • Isoforms & Post-Translational Modification

    P55088 has 3 isomers: P55088-1: 34436 Da (predicted); P55088-2: 32088 Da (predicted); P55088-3: 37977 Da (predicted).
    Phosphorylation by PKC at Ser-180 reduces conductance by 50% (By similarity). Phosphorylation by PKG at Ser-111 in response to glutamate increases conductance by 40%; this increase is not due to increased presence at the cell membrane (PubMed:18286643);Isoform 2: Palmitoylated on its N-terminal region. Isoform 1: Not palmitoylated

  • Subunit

    Homotetramer. The tetramers can form oligomeric arrays in membranes. The size of the oligomers differs between tissues and is smaller in skeletal muscle than in brain. Interaction between AQP4 oligomeric arrays in close-by cells can contribute to cell-cell adhesion (By similarity). Part of a complex containing MLC1, TRPV4, HEPACAM and ATP1B1 (By similarity)
