PIP1;1, PIP1;2, PIP1;3, PIP1;4, PIP1;5 | Aquaporins

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. PIP1;1-PIP1;5 isoforms can be detected in most tissues.,Protein or membrane sample should be treated at 70°C for 10 min before loading on the gel. Diluted antibody solution can be used 2 to 3 times within one month if it  contains 0.1 % sodium azide as preservative and is stored at -20ºC to -80ºC.Antibody reacts also with PIP2 isoforms in Zea mays.

PIPs proteins are aquaporins that facilitate the transport of water and small neutral molecules across cell membranes. PIP1; 2 is also known as PIP1B.
