Anti-Aquaporin-8 (AQP-8)

AQP8, also known as Aquaporin-8, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AQP8 gene. 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 gene contains 6 exons. It is mapped to chromosome 16p12. Northern blot analysis of human tissues detected a 1.35-kb AQP8 mRNA only in pancreas and colon. UniProt Number: O94778, Gene ID: AQP8, Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Handling: Store at -20?C for one year. After reconstitution, store at 4?C for one month. Can also be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20?C for long term., Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
