We have systematically measured KD (the equilibrium dissociation constant between the antibody and its antigen), of more than 840 recombinant antibodies to assess not only their individual KD values but also to see the average affinity of antibody. Based on the comparison with published literature values for mouse monoclonal antibodies, Recombinant antibodies appear to be on average 1-2 order of magnitude higher affinity.

Biological function summary
Water balance and neural activity regulation are significantly influenced by aquaporin 4. This protein forms a part of the orthogonal array of particles (OAPs) in the plasma membrane which enhances its water permeability function. Through its concentration at the blood-brain barrier AQP4 contributes to maintaining brain homeostasis by regulating osmotic gradients and extracellular space ion concentrations. Its expression and activity may affect critical processes like neuroexcitation and neuroprotection.
Pathways
Aquaporin 4 actively engages in critical water transport and blood-brain barrier integrity pathways. The passive yet selective water transport facilitated by AQP4 impacts pathways including the transcellular pathway that helps in maintaining the homeostatic and osmotic balance important for brain function. Furthermore AQP4 acts in relation to other proteins such as aquaporin 1 and connexin 43 indicating its role in gap junction communication within the brain.
