Description
Anti-Aquaporin-7 (AQP7) antibody is validated on mouse tissue and recommended for immunofluorescence labeling, IHC, or western blot of materials from rodent tissues.
Aquaporin, also known as water channel, mediates water permeation across the cell membrane. There are approximately 10 aquaporin genes in human genome. Aquaporin proteins are composed of six transmembrane domains, three extracellular loops, two intracellular loops and two intracellular termini.
Aquaporin-7 is encoded by the Aqp7 gene in human. Aquaporin-7 is highly expressed in the island of Langerhans in the pancreas and also plays a vital role in sperm maturation.
