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-3 in the Epidermis: More than Skin Deep.
The skin is essential for terrestrial life. It is responsible for regulating water permeability and functions as a mechanical barrier that protects against environmental insults, such as microbial infection, ultraviolet light, injury and heat and cold ...

Expression and Localization of aquaporin‐1 in Temporomandibular Joint Disc with Internal Derangement [PDF]
Background: Internal derangement is the most frequent arthropathy affecting the temporomandibular joint, where its commonest form is anterior disc displacement with or without reduction.

Aquaporin: targets for dietary nutrients to regulate intestinal health.
Aquaporins (AQP) are a class of water channel membrane proteins that are widely expressed in the gut. The biological functions of aquaporins, which regulate the absorption and secretion of water molecules and small solutes, maintain the stable state of ...

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 ...

Aquaporin-4 and brain edema. [PDF]
Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a water-channel protein expressed strongly in the brain, predominantly in astrocyte foot processes at the borders between the brain parenchyma and major fluid compartments, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood.

Background Aquaporin-4 is a membrane channel protein that is highly expressed in brain astrocytes and facilitates the transport of water molecules. It has been suggested that suppression of aquaporin-4 function may be an effective treatment for reducing ...

The physiological response of Populus tremula x alba leaves to the down-regulation of PIP1 aquaporin gene expression under no water stress. [PDF]
In order to study the role of PIP1 aquaporins in leaf water and CO2 transport, several lines of PIP1-deficient transgenic Populus tremula x alba were generated using a reverse genetic approach. These transgenic lines displayed no visible developmental or

In human body, there are thirteen water channels but their expression patterns are tissue specific. Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a predominantly expressed water channel in the mammalian brain and an important drug target for treatment of cerebral edema, bipolar disorder, and mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.
