Aquaporin 1 aqp1

Manufactured by Santa Cruz Biotechnology
Sourced in United States

Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) is a protein that functions as a water channel in the cell membrane. It facilitates the rapid passage of water molecules across the cell membrane while restricting the passage of other solutes. AQP1 is widely expressed in various tissues and plays a crucial role in maintaining water homeostasis within the body.

Sections were blocked with 2.5% normal horse serum and incubated overnight at 4 °C in primary antibodies as follows: Egr-1 and phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK) from Cell Signaling, aquaporin-1 (AQP1) from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, TX, USA), and Calbindin from Abcam (Cambridge, MA, USA). After washing, the sections were incubated with Alexa Fluor488-conjugated and/or Alexa Fluor594-conjugated secondary antibodies (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). Fluorescence was visualized using a Fluoview 1000 IX-81 confocal microscope (Olympus). The fluorescence intensity of p-JNK was analyzed using Image J software, Version 1.52a (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA).

Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections were autoclaved at 121°C for 15 min in 10 mM
citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for antigen retrieval. The sections were then incubated in 3%
H2O2/methanol to inactivate endogenous peroxidase activity,
followed by incubation with 10% normal goat serum at room temperature for 30 min.
Subsequently, the sections were incubated with antibodies against CD44 (1:1,000, rabbit
polyclonal; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), Ki67 (1:500, rabbit polyclonal; Abcam), α-smooth muscle
actin (αSMA; 1:50, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA; clone: 1A4), aquaporin-1
(AQP1; 1:300; Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA; clone: B-11), vimentin (1:200; Agilent
Technologies; clone: V9), collagen type IV (1:400, rabbit polyclonal; Abcam), and
fibronectin (1:800, rabbit polyclonal; Abcam) at 4°C overnight. Following this, secondary
antibody reactions were performed using a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated antibody
(Histofine Simple Stain MAX PO; Nichirei Bioscience Inc., Tokyo, Japan).
3,3′-Diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride was applied for visualization.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
