The critical contribution of aquaporin-2 (AQP) to water homeostasis in mammals is highlighted by the severe concentrating defects seen in humans with mutations in the AQP2 gene and in mice that are AQP2 null or have loss-of-function mutations in AQP2 .[1][1],[2][2] The role of the ...

Aquaporin-2 in the “-omics” Era [PDF]
Vasopressin controls renal water excretion largely through actions to regulate the water channel aquaporin-2 in collecting duct principal cells. Our knowledge of the mechanisms involved has increased markedly in recent years with the advent of methods for large-scale systems-level profiling such as protein mass spectrometry, yeast two-hybrid analysis ...

Aquaporin-10 represents an alternative pathway for glycerol efflux from human adipocytes. [PDF]
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

Barley plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIP aquaporins) as water and CO2 transporters [PDF]
We identified barley aquaporins and demonstrated that one, HvPIP2;1, transports water and CO2. Regarding water homeostasis in plants, regulations of aquaporin expression were observed in many plants under several environmental stresses. Under salt stress,

Expression and prognostic value of aquaporin 1, 3 in cervical carcinoma in women of Uygur ethnicity from Xinjiang, China. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Overexpression of several aquaporins has been reported in different types of human cancer but the role of aquaporins in carcinogenesis has not yet been clearly defined.

Expression and Localization of aquaporin‐1 in Temporomandibular Joint Disc with Internal Derangement [PDF]
Background: Internal derangement is the most frequent arthropathy affecting the temporomandibular joint, where its commonest form is anterior disc displacement with or without reduction.

Aquaporin-2 membrane targeting: still a conundrum [PDF]
The targeting of the water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2) to the apical plasma membrane of kidney collecting duct principal cells is regulated mainly by the antidiuretic peptide hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP). This process is of crucial importance for the maintenance of body water homeostasis.

Aquaporin-4 and brain edema. [PDF]
Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a water-channel protein expressed strongly in the brain, predominantly in astrocyte foot processes at the borders between the brain parenchyma and major fluid compartments, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood.

Aquaporin‐2 regulation in health and disease [PDF]
AbstractAquaporin‐2 (AQP2), the vasopressin‐regulated water channel of the renal collecting duct, is dysregulated in numerous disorders of water balance in people and animals, including those associated with polyuria (urinary tract obstruction, hypokalemia, inflammation, and lithium toxicity) and with dilutional hyponatremia (syndrome of inappropriate ...
