AQP0 Antibody / Aquaporin 0 Antibody

AQP0 Antibody Overview

AQP0 Antibody reagents target aquaporin 0, also known as the major intrinsic protein (MIP) of lens fiber cells. AQP0 is a unique aquaporin because it functions both as a water channel and as a structural component of intercellular junctions. This dual role is essential for lens development, transparency, and long-term stability.

During lens fiber cell differentiation, AQP0 expression dramatically increases, supporting the formation of tightly packed, elongated cells that maintain optical clarity. Beyond water transport, AQP0 interacts with connexins and other junctional proteins, strengthening cell-to-cell adhesion and communication. Mutations in the AQP0 gene are directly associated with inherited cataracts, and altered expression contributes to age-related opacities. Because of these critical functions, the AQP0 Antibody is a vital tool for ophthalmology, developmental biology, and cataract genetics research. The Aquaporin 0 Antibody ensures reproducibility across diverse assay systems, making it equally useful for basic and translational pipelines.
