General description
Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of channel proteins that allow water or very small solutes to pass, functioning in tissues where the rapid and regulated transport of fluid is necessary, such as the kidney, lung, and salivary glands. Aquaporin 5 is considered to play an important role in water movement across the plasma membrane in salivary fluid secretion and corneal/lens lubrication and is a focus of studies illucidating bechanisms underlying diabetic xerostomia.
Specificity
Aquaporin 5 (AQP5). By Western blot the antibody reacts with a band at ~ 24 kDa on rat submaxillary gland lysate.
Immunogen
Epitope: Cytoplasmic domain
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the cytoplasmic domain of rat Aquaporin 5.
Application
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:500-2,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Aquaporin 5 in rat lung and mouse trachea tissue.
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A representative lot from independent laboratories detected Aquaporin 5 in various paraformaldehyde fixed tissues (see references).

Storage and Stability
Maintain at 2-8°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 1 year after date of receipt.
During shipment, small volumes of product will occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial. For products with volumes of 200μL or less, we recommend gently tapping the vial on a hard surface or briefly centrifuging the vial in a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container′s cap.
