The AQP7 Antibody (PAC020986) is a valuable tool for researchers studying AQP7, a protein involved in the regulation of water transport in cells. This polyclonal antibody, produced in rabbits, is highly specific for human samples and is validated for use in various applications, including Western blot analysis. By binding to the AQP7 protein, this antibody allows for the accurate detection and analysis of AQP7 expression in different cell types, making it ideal for investigations in areas such as physiology and metabolism.
AQP7, also known as aquaporin-7, plays a crucial role in maintaining water balance and metabolism within the body. Its function in facilitating water and glycerol transport across cell membranes makes it a target of interest in research related to obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders. By gaining a deeper understanding of AQP7 activity, researchers can uncover potential therapeutic strategies for managing these conditions through the modulation of water and glycerol transport mechanisms.

Background:
Aquaporins/major intrinsic protein (MIP) are a family of water-selective membrane channels. Aquaporin 7 has greater sequence similarity with AQP3 and AQP9 and they may be a subfamily. Aquaporin 7 and AQP3 are at the same chromosomal location suggesting that 9p13 may be a site of an aquaporin cluster. Aquaporin 7 facilitates water, glycerol and urea transport. It may play an important role in sperm function.
