Genetic deletion of laminin isoforms β2 and γ3 induces a reduction in Kir4.1 and aquaporin-4 expression and function in the retina. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Glial cells such as retinal Müller glial cells are involved in potassium ion and water homeostasis of the neural tissue. In these cells, inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels and aquaporin-4 water channels play an important role in the process of ...

A proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis of Oryza sativa plasma membrane and vacuolar membrane [PDF]
, 2008 Proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses of rice shoot and root tonoplast-enriched and plasma membrane-enriched membrane fractions were carried out to look at tissue-specific expression, and to identify putative regulatory sites of membrane transport ...

Aquaporin-4 expression in distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles
BMC Neurology, 2012 Background Distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles/hereditary inclusion body myopathy is clinically characterized by the early involvement of distal leg muscles. The striking pathological features of the myopathy are muscle fibers with rimmed vacuoles.

Aquaporin-4-dependent K(+) and water transport modeled in brain extracellular space following neuroexcitation. [PDF]
, 2013 Potassium (K(+)) ions released into brain extracellular space (ECS) during neuroexcitation are efficiently taken up by astrocytes. Deletion of astrocyte water channel aquaporin-4 (AQP4) in mice alters neuroexcitation by reducing ECS [K(+)] accumulation ...

Aquaporin 4 and its Relationship with Brain Astrocytomas – Literature Review
Brazilian Neurosurgery, 2023 Background Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of membrane proteins that regulate the osmotic permeability of the plasma membrane. There are described in the literature a total of 13 types of Aquaporins in mammals, each with different places of expression. In

The physiological response of Populus tremula x alba leaves to the down-regulation of PIP1 aquaporin gene expression under no water stress. [PDF]
, 2013 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
