Aquaporins: relevance to cerebrospinal fluid physiology and therapeutic potential in hydrocephalus
Cerebrospinal Fluid Research, 2010 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 ...

Aquaporin-1, Nothing but a Water Channel [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004 Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) is a membrane channel that allows rapid water movement driven by a transmembrane osmotic gradient. It was claimed to have a secondary function as a cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel. However, upon reconstitution into planar bilayers, the ion channel exhibited a 10-fold lower single channel conductance than in Xenopus oocytes and a ...

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
