The physiological response of Populus tremula x alba leaves to the down-regulation of PIP1 aquaporin gene expression under no water stress. [PDF]
In order to study the role of PIP1 aquaporins in leaf water and CO2 transport, several lines of PIP1-deficient transgenic Populus tremula x alba were generated using a reverse genetic approach. These transgenic lines displayed no visible developmental or

Aquaporin 2 (AQP2) is widely recognized for its role in vasopressin-stimulated water transport across the collecting duct and hence in the production of concentrated urine.[1][1],[2][2] AQP2 is primarily expressed in the apical plasma membrane and subapical vesicles of the collecting duct ...

High water intake induces primary cilium elongation in renal tubular cells [PDF]
Background The primary cilium protrudes from the cell surface and functions as a mechanosensor. Recently, we found that water intake restriction shortens the primary cilia of renal tubular cells, and a blockage of the shortening disturbs the ability of ...

Predictive Value of Serum Antibodies and Point Mutations of AQP4, AQP1 and MOG in A Cohort of Spanish Patients with Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders [PDF]
The detection of IgG aquaporin-4 antibodies in the serum of patients with Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) has dramatically improved the diagnosis of this disease and its distinction from multiple sclerosis.

The Perinatal Expression of Aquaporin-2 and Aquaporin-3 in Developing Kidney [PDF]
The kidney provides an important contribution to permit the fetus to successfully transition to an independent existence by production of urine with significantly different osmolality compared with plasma. Although recent work has uncovered many aspects of the maturation and regulation of the renal concentrating and diluting mechanism, understanding of

Trafficking mechanism of water channel aquaporin‐2 [PDF]
Targeted positioning of the water channel AQP2 (aquaporin‐2) strictly regulates body water homoeostasis. Trafficking of AQP2 to the apical membrane is critical for the reabsorption of water in renal collecting ducts. In addition to the cAMP‐mediated effect of vasopressin on AQP2 trafficking to the apical membrane, other signalling cascades can also ...

In vivo imaging of the tonoplast intrinsic protein family in Arabidopsis roots [PDF]
Background: Tonoplast intrinsic proteins (TIPs) are widely used as markers for vacuolar compartments in higher plants. Ten TIP isoforms are encoded by the Arabidopsis genome.

Increased intestinal carbonate precipitate abundance in the sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) in response to ocean acidification [PDF]
Marine fish contribute to the carbon cycle by producing mineralized intestinal precipitates generated as by-products of their osmoregulation. Here we aimed at characterizing the control of epithelial bicarbonate secretion and intestinal precipitate ...

Several point mutations have been identified in human aquaporins, but their effects on the function of the respective aquaporins are mostly enigmatic. We analyzed the impact of the aquaporin 2 mutation V71M, which causesnephrogenic diabetes insipidus in ...
