Aquaporins (AQP0-10) And Urea
Transporter (UT2) Antibodies
Water is a critical component of all living
cells. Interestingly, tissue membranes show a great degree of water permeability.
Mammalian red cells, renal proximal tubules, and descending thin limb of Henle
are extraordinarily permeable to water. Water crosses hydrophobic plasma
membranes either by simple diffusion or through a facilitative transport
mechanism mediated by special protein "aquaporins". Over the last decade, genes
for several members of aquaporin family have been cloned, expressed, and their
distribution studied in many tissues. AQP0 or MIP26 (major intrinsic protein 26
kDa), and Aquaporin-1 (AQP1, purified from red cells) also called CHIP-28 (channel
forming integral protein, 28 kDa; 268 AA; gene locus 7p14) has been the
foundation of the growing family of aquaporin. The lens specific AQP0 represents
up to 80% of total lens membrane protein. AQP2 (AQP-CD or WCH-CD; 265 AA; gene
locus 12q13) is the vasopressin-regulated water channel of the apical membrane
of collecting duct cells. AQP3 (GLIP, Glycerol-transporting integral protein;
285 AA) has a wide tissue distribution. AQP4 (MIWC, mercury-insensitive water
channel; 301 AA; gene locus 18q22) is expressed in brain and in other tissues as
well. AQP5 (282 AA) is found in several epithelial tissues (salivary and
lachrymal glands, etc). AQP6 (WCH3 or hKID or AQP2-like; 282 aa; chromosome
12q13) is only found in kidney with low water permeability. AQP7 (rAQP7, 269aa)
is abundantly expressed in testis. It is involved in water, glycerol and urea
transport. AQP7 is also found in adipose tissue, kidney, and heart. AQP8 (263aa)
is also abundant in testis. It is also found in liver, pancreas, placenta and
salivary gland. AQP9 (295aa) is primarily expressed in peripheral leukocytes. It
is permeable to water and urea. AQP10 (human 264 aa) is most closely related
with AQP3 (53%), AQP9 (52%), and AQP7 (43%). It is abundantly expressed in
duodenum and jejunum. AQP10 is not permeable to urea and glycerol. Most recently,
adipose specific AQP-adipose (342aa; AQPAP or AQP7-like) has been cloned. It
facilities water and glycerol transport. The individual members of aquaporin
family have identical predicted secondary structures with up to 6 highly
conserved hydrophobic membrane spanning domains (about 18-25 AA each) and two
conserved NPA motifs. However, N/C-terminal regions of AQPs are only ~ 20%
conserved.
Urea is the major end product of nitrogen metabolism and it is concentrated up
to four times higher than that of plasma. A rapid, passive transport of urea
through the membranes of the IMCD is responsible for generation of high urea
concentration in the inner medullary interstitium. Recently, a
vasopressin-sensitive urea transporter (UT2; 397 AA) from rabbit and its homolog
from rat (rUT2; 397 AA) have been cloned.
ADI has produced highly specific rabbit antibodies to AQP0-10, AQPAP and rUT2
using peptide sequences specific to each AQP. These antibodies should be useful
in studying various aquaporins and rUT2.

"Neat Antisera" are the
unpurified antiserum and it is
suitable for ELISA and
Western.
"Affinity pure" antibodies
have been over the
antigen-affinity column and
recommended for
immunohistochemical
applications, and may give
cleaner results in most
applications.
"Control peptides" can not be
used for Western as they are
very short peptides. They are
intended for ELISA or antibody
competition studies
All Products are for in vitro
research use only. Rev. 20319
