Aquaporin evolution in fishes [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2011 Aquaporins represent a primordial group of transmembrane solvent channels that have been documented throughout the living biota. This facet alone emphasizes the positive selection pressure for proteins associated with intracellular fluid homeostasis ...

Detecting aquaporin function and regulation
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2016 Water is the major component of cells and tissues throughout all forms of life. Fluxes of water and solutes through cell membranes and epithelia are essential for osmoregulation and energy homeostasis. Aquaporins are membrane channels expressed in almost

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2006 An acceleration in the rate at which new aquaporin structures are determined means that structural models are now available for mammalian AQP0, AQP1, AQP2 and AQP4, bacterial GlpF, AqpM and AQPZ, and the plant SoPIP2;1.

Aquaporin Protein-Protein Interactions
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017 Aquaporins are tetrameric membrane-bound channels that facilitate transport of water and other small solutes across cell membranes. In eukaryotes, they are frequently regulated by gating or trafficking, allowing for the cell to control membrane ...

Current Neuropharmacology, 2010 Glial cells coordinate the differentiation, metabolism, and excitability of neurons; they modulate synaptic transmission and integrate signals emanating from neurons and other glial cells. Several evidences underlying the relation between these pathways and the regulatory mechanisms of ion concentration, supporting the role of Aquaporins (AQPs) in ...

Recombinant production of human Aquaporin-1 to an exceptional high membrane density in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In the present paper we explored the capacity of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as host for heterologous expression of human Aquaporin-1. Aquaporin-1 cDNA was expressed from a galactose inducible promoter situated on a plasmid with an adjustable copy ...

International Journal of Speleology, 2020 The preservation of caves is a challenge during long-duration cave expeditions where human waste can add significant nitrogen to the cave ecosystem. Since the removal of urine that accumulates during a multi-day caving trip is not always feasible due to ...

Aquaporin-10 represents an alternative pathway for glycerol efflux from human adipocytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: Glycerol outflow from adipocytes has been considered for a decade to be mediated by aquaporin-7, an aquaglyceroporin highly expressed in the adipose tissue. Its involvement in glycerol metabolism has been widely studied also in humans. Recent

Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2018 The lung is the interface between air and blood where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs. The surface liquid that is directly exposed to the gaseous compartment covers both conducting airways and respiratory zone and forms the air-liquid interface.
