The critical contribution of aquaporin-2 (AQP) to water homeostasis in mammals is highlighted by the severe concentrating defects seen in humans with mutations in the AQP2 gene and in mice that are AQP2 null or have loss-of-function mutations in AQP2 .[1][1],[2][2] The role of the ...

Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) and AQP2 are important proteins involved in the regulation of renal water handling. Both AQPs have been found in urinary extracellular vesicles (uEVs) (uEV-AQP1 and -AQP2).

Aquaporin 2 (AQP2) is widely recognized for its role in vasopressin-stimulated water transport across the collecting duct and hence in the production of concentrated urine.[1][1],[2][2] AQP2 is primarily expressed in the apical plasma membrane and subapical vesicles of the collecting duct ...

Expression and localization of Aquaporin 1a in the sea-bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) during ontogeny [PDF]
The successful establishment of a species in a given habitat depends on the ability of each of its developing stages to adapt to the environment. In order to understand this process we have studied the adaptation of a euryhaline fish, the sea-bass ...

Structure determination of membrane-located complexes: Aquaporin 8 and YscC secretin [PDF]
A biological membrane is key to the life of a cell. In all living cells a biological membrane separates a inner life and an outer environment. Plasma membrane has many functions such as responding to external signals and transmitting them into the cell,

Barley plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIP aquaporins) as water and CO2 transporters [PDF]
We identified barley aquaporins and demonstrated that one, HvPIP2;1, transports water and CO2. Regarding water homeostasis in plants, regulations of aquaporin expression were observed in many plants under several environmental stresses. Under salt stress,

Aquaporin 4 is a ubiquitously expressed isoform in the dogfish (Squalus acanthias) shark [PDF]
Christopher P.Cutler is in receipt of a grant from the National Science Foundation, NSFIOS0844818.The dogfish ortholog of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) was amplified from cDNA using degenerate PCR followed by cloning and sequencing.
