Interferon-γ suppresses intestinal epithelial aquaporin-1 expression via Janus kinase and STAT3 activation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Inflammatory bowel diseases are associated with dysregulated electrolyte and water transport and resultant diarrhea. Aquaporins are transmembrane proteins that function as water channels in intestinal epithelial cells.

Congestive heart failure in rats is associated with increased expression and targeting of aquaporin-2 water channel in collecting duct [PDF]

, 1997
We tested whether severe congestive heart failure (CHF), a condition associated with excess free-water retention, is accompanied by altered regulation of the vasopressin-regulated water channel, aquaporin-2 (AQP2), in the renal collecting duct.

Volume changes during active shape fluctuations in cells [PDF]

, 2015
Cells modify their volume in response to changes in osmotic pressure but it is usually assumed that other active shape variations do not involve significant volume fluctuations.

Systemic Hypertension Effects on the Ciliary Body and Iris. An Immunofluorescence Study with Aquaporin 1, Aquaporin 4, and Na⁺, K⁺ ATPase in Hypertensive Rats

Cells, 2018
Aquaporin 1 (AQP1) and aquaporin 4 (AQP4) have been identified in the eye as playing an essential role in the formation of the aqueous humor along with the Na+/K+ ATPase pump.

Effects of aquaporin-lipid molar ratio on the permeability of an aquaporin Z-phospholipid membrane system.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Aquaporins are water-permeable membrane-channel proteins found in biological cell membranes that selectively exclude ions and large molecules and have high water permeability, which makes them promising candidates for water desalination systems.
