AQP2 Antibody (G-3) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody that detects aquaporin 2 (AQP2) in mouse, rat, and human samples through various applications including western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). AQP2 plays a crucial role in regulating water balance in the body, primarily functioning as a water channel in kidney collecting ducts, where AQP2 is responsible for water reabsorption in response to vasopressin. This process is vital for maintaining homeostasis, particularly during dehydration or increased plasma osmolality. Proper functioning of AQP2 is essential for urine concentration and prevention of water loss, making AQP2 a key player in renal physiology. Dysregulation of AQP2 can lead to various disorders, including nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, characterized by the inability to concentrate urine and excessive urination. Anti-AQP2 antibody (G-3) serves as an invaluable tool for researchers studying water transport mechanisms and related pathologies, providing insights into the molecular underpinnings of kidney function and fluid homeostasis.
