Mechanosensitive aquaporins

Biophysical Reviews, 2023
Cellular systems must deal with mechanical forces to satisfy their physiological functions. In this context, proteins with mechanosensitive properties play a crucial role in sensing and responding to environmental changes. The discovery of aquaporins (AQPs) marked a significant breakthrough in the study of water transport.

Aquaporins

Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry, 1998
Aquaporins (AQP) are members of the major intrinsic protein superfamily of integral membrane proteins, which function as specialized water channels to facilitate the passage of water through the cell membrane in animals, plants and bacterias. Ten AQP homologues named from 0 to 9 have been clones so far in mammals.

Artificial Aquaporin That Restores Wound Healing of Impaired Cells.

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2020
Artificial aquaporins are synthetic molecules that mimic the structure and function of natural aquaporins (AQPs) in cell membranes. The development of artificial aquaporins would provide an alternative strategy for treatment of AQP-related diseases.

An Aquafoldmer-Based Aquaporin-Like Synthetic Water Channel.

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2020
Synthetic water channels were developed with an aim to replace Aquaporins for possible uses in water purification, while concurrently retaining Aquaporins' ability to conduct highly selective superfast water transport.

Epithelial aquaporins

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1998
The past year has brought significant advances in our understanding of the involvement of aquaporins in the regulation of water balance. Besides the identification of new mammalian aquaporins, highlights include the progress in our understanding of their cell-biological regulation and their roles in physiology and pathophysiology as deduced from ...
