Aquaporin 2 (Ser264) Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

Aquaporin 2 (AQP2) is a hormonally regulated water channel located in the renal collecting duct. Mutations in the AQP2 gene cause hereditary nephrogenic diabetes insipidus in humans (Iolascon et al.,2007) . A vasopressin induced cAMP increase results in the phosphorylation of AQP2 at serine-256 and its translocation from the intracellular vesicles to the apical membrane of principal cells (van Balkom et al., 2002) . Recently, serine-264 has been identified as a novel phosphorylation site on AQP2 and shown to be regulated by vasopressin thus implicating this site as important in AQP2 trafficking and subcellular distribution (Fenton RA et al., 2008) .

Source

Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Ser264 of rat aquaporin 2, conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) .

Applications

WB, IHC

Purification

Antigen Affinity purification from Pooled whole antiserum

Concentration

Lot Dependent

Dilution

WB (1:300-5000), IHC ()

Buffer

10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg per ml BSA and 50% glycerol.

Modification

Phosphorylation

Storage Conditions

Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

Specificity

Specific for endogenous levels of the ~29 kDa AQP2 protein phosphorylated at Ser264. Also recognizes the glycosylated form of AQP2 at ~37 kDa. Immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption with the phosphopeptide used as antigen, but not by the corresponding non-phosphopeptide.
