Background of AQP3

This gene encodes the water channel protein aquaporin 3. Aquaporins are a family of small integral membrane proteins related to the major intrinsic protein, also known as aquaporin 0. Aquaporin 3 is localized at the basal lateral membranes of collecting duct cells in the kidney. In addition to its water channel function, aquaporin 3 has been found to facilitate the transport of nonionic small solutes such as urea and glycerol, but to a smaller degree. It has been suggested that water channels can be functionally heterogeneous and possess water and solute permeation mechanisms. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Antibody Validation

Boster validates all antibodies on WB, IHC, ICC, Immunofluorescence, and ELISA with known positive control and negative samples to ensure specificity and high affinity, including thorough antibody incubations.

1 Reviews For Anti-Aquaporin 3/AQP3 Antibody Picoband®

This antibody is highly specific and efficient, suitable for Western blot detection of AQP3 protein in rat colon, with only minor nonspecific bands.

Excellent

SKU PA1488
Application Western Blot
Sample rat colon tissue
Sample Processing Description RIPA lysis buffer: cells/tissues were lysed with PMSF protease inhibitor (100:1) for 10 min, followed by centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for 15 min. The supernatant was collected, mixed with 5× loading buffer, denatured at 100 °C for 10 min, and then loaded onto SDS-PAGE.
Other Reagents Blocking buffer
Primary Antibody Aquaporin 3/AQP3 Antibody Picoband®
Primary Incubation 1:1000, overnight at 4 ℃
Secondary Antibody HRP Conjugated AffiniPure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L)
Secondary Incubation 1:5000, 1 hour in room temperature
Detection Substrate: ECL, Imaging system:ChemiDoc MP
Results Summary The figure shows representative Western blot results of the target protein AQP3 and the internal control Actin in rat colon across different groups. AQP3 expression was decreased in the model group and increased in all treatment groups, with the Western medicine group (PC)showing higher levels than the traditional Chinese medicine group (TCM). The target bands are clear and distinct, and the experimental results are satisfactory.

Question

Could you please recommend staining protocol for flow? Is surface staining recommended? Many thanks.

Verified customer

Asked: 2022-12-06

Answer

Thank you for your question. Surface staining is recommended. Please see the following FCM protocol for PA1488. Permeabilization step isn't involved. 1. Centrifugation: Centrifuge prepared single cell suspension at 3000rpm for 2 minutes and aspirate supernatant to collect cells. 2. Fixation: Resuspend cells in 1ml of 4% Paraformaldehyde. Transfer 4% Paraformaldehyde containing cells into a 1.5ml centrifuge tube. Fix at 4°C for 20 minutes. 3. Washing: Centrifugate the cells at 3000rpm for 2 minutes. Discard supernatant in appropriate waste container. Resuspend and wash cells in 1 ml DPBS. Repeat the washing step twice. 4. Prepare tubes for samples and indicate sample type, control and antibody information on the tubes. 5. Add DPBS to cells. The volume of the DPBS is 100μl x number of tubes for samples, which is adding 100μl of DPBS to each tube (1x106 cells per tube). 6. Blocking: Do not add any antibody into the Blank tube. Aliquot 100 μl of the cell suspension into each sample tube. Add 5μl of concentrated goat serum into every other tube and mix thoroughly. Incubate at 37°C for 10 minutes. 6. Primary antibody incubation: Add 1μg of rabbit IgG to the Isotype control tube. Add 1μg of rabbit anti-AQP3 Antibody (PA1488,1μg/1x106 cells) into each tube. Mix well and incubate at 20°C for 30 minutes. Centrifuge at 3000rpm for 2 minutes and discard the supernatant. Resuspend cells in 1ml DPBS twice and add 100μl DPBS. 7. Seconday antibody incubation: Do not add any antibody into the Blank tube. Add 5μl DyLight®488 conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (BA1127, 5-10μg/1x106 cells) into every other tube. Mix well and incubate at 20°C for 30 minutes, avoiding direct light. Centrifuge at 3000rpm for 2 minutes and discard the supernatant. Resuspend cells in 1ml DPBS twice and add 100μl DPBS, mix well. 8. Acquire data by Flow Cytometry. Notes: 1. DPBS (without containing calcium and magnesium) 2. 4% Paraformaldehyde (containing DEPC)

Question

What is the concentration of the permeabilization buffer for the PA1488 for Flow?

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-12-18

Answer

For the Anti-Aquaporin 3/AQP3 Antibody (PA1488), the permeabilization buffer contains saponin, BSA, NaN3 and PBS. We could not disclose the exact concentration.

Question

Do you have any protocols for staining red blood cells for Flow with the PA1488?

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-12-18

Answer

Our lab hasn't worked on red blood cells for Flow with the Anti-Aquaporin 3/AQP3 Antibody (PA1488) and we have't got a specific protocol for it.

Question

Do you have the composition or detergent concentration for the permeabilization buffer used with PA1488 antibody and what protocol was used?

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-12-18

Answer

Permeabilization buffer used for the Anti-Aquaporin 3/AQP3 Antibody (PA1488) didn't contain 1% triton. The 1% triton was only added into permeabilization buffer to permeabilize nuclear membrane. There was no need to permeabilize nuclear membrane for the samples used for FCM with PA1488. For PA1488, permeabilization buffer our lab used to perform FCM didn't contain any detergent.

Question

We are currently using anti-Aquaporin 3/AQP3 antibody PA1488 for rat tissue, and we are well pleased with the WB results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human, mouse, rat. Is it true that the antibody can work on primate tissues as well?

Asked: 2019-07-08

Answer

The anti-Aquaporin 3/AQP3 antibody (PA1488) has not been tested for cross reactivity specifically with primate tissues, but there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in primate you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.
