Mouse Anti-Porcine Aquaporin 4 Monoclonal Antibody

Porcine aquaporin 4 is a member of the aquaporin family of water channel proteins, which are crucial for the regulation of water homeostasis in cells and tissues. Aquaporin 4 is predominantly expressed in the brain, particularly in astrocytes, where it plays a critical role in the maintenance of brain water balance and the integrity of the blood-brain barrier. As a molecular target, aquaporin 4 is significant due to its involvement in various neurological conditions, including cerebral edema, ischemic stroke, and neuromyelitis optica. Its role in water transport across the cell membrane makes it a potential therapeutic target for modulating brain water content and improving outcomes in these conditions.
