Human Aquaporin 5 (AQP5) ELISA Kit

The Aquaporin 5 (AQP5) target is a water-selective channel protein expressed in salivary gland acinar cells, lacrimal glands, airway epithelium, and selected epithelial tissues, where it mediates trans-epithelial water movement. This quantitative tool from Assay Genie is configured for human samples only with a human-specific capture antibody, allowing researchers to quantify AQP5 protein abundance in tissue homogenates and cell lysate preparations with a 50 µL sample volume per well.

Investigators studying Sjögren's syndrome, dry-eye disease, asthma airway remodeling, or salivary gland physiology rely on this plate-based assay to correlate AQP5 expression with disease state. Each strip plate contains pre-coated capture antibody, lyophilized recombinant AQP5 standards, biotinylated detection reagent, streptavidin-HRP, and buffer wash concentrate; procedure spans approximately 3 hours from sample addition to absorbance readout.

Each kit includes a sealed foil pouch with desiccant, an analytical-grade standard curve, and a complete user manual. Store unopened kit at 4°C; reconstituted reagents should be stored at -20°C and discarded after repeated freeze-thaw cycles beyond the recommended three rounds.
