Buy AQP11 antibody
Product Details
Buy AQP11 antibody gene encodes aquaporins, integral membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of water and small neutral solutes across biological membranes along an osmotic gradient. Aquaporins are members of the major intrinsic protein (MIP) superfamily and 13 distinct aquaporin isoforms have been identified in mammals, ranging from AQP0 to AQP12.

Aquaporin-11 forms homomultimers that assemble into functional channels with four pores. It differs from other members of the AQP family in that it has unusual pore-forming NPA (asparagine-proline-alanine) boxes, and is located in mitochondrial-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes.

AQP11 is expressed in kidney epithelia, astrocytes of the brain, and red blood cells. It is also found in ejaculated spermatozoa and the testis, where it plays a role in vesicular water homeostasis.
