Gene Information

human ... AQP6(363)

General description

AQP6 (aquaporin 6) is a membrane protein residing in the intracellular vesicles. It resides in the human inner ear, and the renal collecting ducts in the acid-secreting intercalated cells. This gene is localized to human chromosome 12q13. The encoded protein is composed of 282 amino acids, and has a molecular weight of 29kDa. It contains the NPA (asparagine-proline-alanine) motifs, which are conserved in nature and characteristic of MIP (major intrinsic protein) family.

Immunogen

aquaporin 6, kidney specific recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

AQP6 (aquaporin 6) co-localizes with H+ATPase, in the collecting ducts of kidney, and might have a role as a nitrate channel. In human inner ear it might be involved in maintaining the acid-base homeostasis, in turn, the control of pH. It has potential as a marker for the diagnosis of benign renal oncocytomas.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
