products description :
Principle of the Assay: The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated withan antibody specific to AQP-4. Standards or samples are thenadded to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with abiotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific for AQP-4 andAvidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added toeach microplate well and incubated. Then a TMB (3,3',5,5'tetramethyl-benzidine) substrate solution is added to each well.Only those wells that contain AQP-4, biotin-conjugated antibodyand enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. Theenzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of asulphuric acid solution and the color change is measuredspectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm +/- 2 nm. Theconcentration of AQP-4 in the samples is then determined bycomparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a member of the aquaporin family of intrinsic membrane proteins that function as water-selective channels in the plasma membranes of many cells. The encoded protein is the predominant aquaporin found in brain. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
Function: Forms a water-specific channel. Osmoreceptor which regulates body water balance and mediates water flow within the central nervous system.
