                             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
