Application DetailsImmunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blotting (WB). A concentration of 1.0-2.0 µg/mL is recommended for WB. Human Aquaporin 1 has a predicted length of 269 amino acids and MW of 29 kDa. A concentration of 0.5-1.0 µg/mL is recommended to detect the protein in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Scientific BackgroundAquaporin 1 is a multi-pass membrane protein expressed in tissues including renal tubules, kidney, pancreas, heart, lung and erythrocytes. Aquaporin 1 functions as a water-specific channel that provides the plasma membrane with a high permeability to water thereby allowing water to move through the membrane.
