α-Actinin 4 Links Vasopressin Short-Term and Long-Term Regulation of Aquaporin-2 in Kidney Collecting Duct Cells [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Water permeability of the kidney collecting ducts is regulated by the peptide hormone vasopressin. Between minutes and hours (short-term), vasopressin induces trafficking of the water channel protein aquaporin-2 to the apical plasma membrane of the ...

Molecular Characterization of an Aquaporin−2 Mutation Causing Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 The aquaporin 2 (AQP2) plays a critical role in water reabsorption to maintain water homeostasis. AQP2 mutation leads to nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI), characterized by polyuria, polydipsia, and hypernatremia.

Comparative quantitation of aquaporin-2 and arginine vasopressin receptor-2 localizations among chronic kidney disease and healthy kidney in dogs [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2021 Background and Aim: Aquaporin-2 (AQP2) and arginine vasopressin receptor-2 (AVPR2) are proteins that control water homeostasis in principal cells. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as the impairment and irreversible loss of kidney function and/or ...

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.

Effect of Diet and Water Intake on Aquaporin 2 Function [PDF]
Childhood Kidney Diseases, 2016 Appropriate control of diet and water intake is important for maintaining normal blood pressure, fluid and electrolyte homeostasis in the body. It is relatively understood that the amount of sodium and potassium intake directly affects blood pressure and

A Case of Congenital Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus Caused by Thr108Met Variant of Aquaporin 2 [PDF]
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2020 Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (CNDI) is a rare renal disorder caused by mutations in arginine vasopressin receptor 2 (AVPR2) or aquaporin 2 (AQP2). The clinical signs of CNDI include polyuria, compensatory polydipsia, dehydration, electrolyte
