Characterization of aquaporin-driven hydrogen peroxide transport.
Aquaporins are membrane-intrinsic proteins initially defined as water (H2O) channels in all organisms and subsequently found to have multiple substrate specificities, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).

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 ...

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.

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,

The dual aquaporin (Aqp1ab1/Aqp1ab2)-mediated hydration of marine teleost eggs, which occurs during oocyte meiosis resumption (maturation), is considered a key adaptation underpinning their evolutionary success in the oceans.

Aquaporin-4-dependent glymphatic solute transport in the rodent brain
The glymphatic system is a brain-wide clearance pathway; its impairment contributes to the accumulation of amyloid-β. Influx of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) depends upon the expression and perivascular localization of the astroglial water channel aquaporin ...

Gene Therapy for Glaucoma by Ciliary Body Aquaporin 1 Disruption Using CRISPR-Cas9
Glaucoma is a common cause of blindness, yet current therapeutic options are imperfect. Clinical trials have invariably shown that reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) regardless of disease subtype prevents visual loss.

Contrasting disease patterns in seropositive and seronegative neuromyelitis optica: A multicentre study of 175 patients [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The diagnostic and pathophysiological relevance of antibodies to aquaporin-4 (AQP4-Ab) in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) has been intensively studied. However, little is known so far about the clinical impact of

Aquaporin-4 Water Channel in the Brain and Its Implication for Health and Disease
Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a water channel expressed on astrocytic endfeet in the brain. The role of AQP4 has been studied in health and in a range of pathological conditions.

Aquaporins: relevance to cerebrospinal fluid physiology and therapeutic potential in hydrocephalus
The discovery of a family of membrane water channel proteins called aquaporins, and the finding that aquaporin 1 was located in the choroid plexus, has prompted interest in the role of aquaporins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production and consequently ...
