Rat AQP1 (Aquaporin-1) ELISA Kit (RTFI01453)

Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) is a widely expressed integral membrane water channel that facilitates osmotic water transport across epithelial and endothelial barriers in rat tissues. The Assay Genie Rat AQP1 ELISA Kit provides a quantitative immunoassay platform for measuring AQP1 protein concentrations in biological specimens, supporting studies in renal physiology, vascular biology, and fluid homeostasis research. Each kit contains all reagents required to perform up to 96 Assays, including a pre-coated plate, matched antibody pairs, calibrated reference standards, substrate solution, stop reagent, and concentrated wash buffer. The chromogenic readout is captured on a standard plate reader, enabling straightforward quantification. Detailed lot-specific protocols guide users through sample preparation, incubation steps, and standard curve fitting. Researchers investigating diabetic nephropathy, ischemia-reperfusion injury, brain edema models, or developmental biology in rat systems rely on AQP1 quantification as a key biomarker of altered water handling. The kit is intended for research use only and has not been validated for diagnostic procedures in a clinical setting.
