This antibody recognizes and binds extracellular domains of both the M1 and M23 isoforms of human aquaporin 4 (AQP4), but not mouse aquaporin 4. AQP4 is a water channel expressed on astrocytes throughout the CNS and in skeletal muscle and some epithelial

This antibody binds extracellular domain of human aquaporin 4 with a very high binding affinity. The binding of this antibody inhibits the binding of NMO-IgG to AQP4 (PMID: 23746426). The binding affinity of this antibody for human AQP4 M23 isoform expressed on the surface of baculovirus and CHO cells was tested with ELISA (PMID: 26398585; WO2014196658). The binding characterization of this antibody was done using flow cytometry. This antibody can be used for the immunoprecipitation of human AQP4 but not mouse AQP4 (WO2014196658; PMID: 23909421). This antibody is not suitable for detection of denatured human AQP4 in a western blot assay (WO2014196658).
