PIP (PIP1;1, PIP1;2, PIP1;3, PIP1;4, PIP1;5) aquaporins

PIPs proteins are aquaporins which facilitate the transport of water and small neutral molecules across cell membrane. Alternative names: PIP1-1, PIP1-2, PIP1-3, plasma membrane intrinistic protein 1a, 1b, 1c, PIP1a, PIP1b, PIP1c, plasma membrane aquaporin-1, transmembrane protein A, TMP-A, AthH2, transmembrane protein B, TMP-B,

store at -20°C; make aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Please, remember to spin tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from material adhering to the cap or sides of the tubes.

ELISA (ELISA), western blot (WB)

AS09 488 | anti-PIP2;1 | aquaporin PIP2;1

AS09 489 | anti-PIP1;1, PIP1;2, PIP1;3 | aquaporins

AS09 490 | anti-PIP2;2 | plasma membrane aquaporin 2b

0.1 % sodium azide is added as preservative. For antibody re-suspending information check the tube lable.

Antibodies will detect target protein in a few µg of a crude preparation loaded per well. If purified preparations of vacuolar and plasma membranes are used, one µg load per well should be sufficient.
