Evaluation of aquaporin‐4 antibody assays [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Neuroimmunology, 2014 AbstractAquaporin‐4 (AQP4) is a water channel protein that is most highly, but not exclusively, expressed in the central nervous system. In 2005 AQP4 was shown to be the antigenic target of neuromyelitis optica‐immunoglobulin G (NMO‐IgG, or AQP4‐IgG), an antibody found specifically in patients with NMO and in formes frustes of NMO, such as ...

Accumulation of Astrocytic Aquaporin 4 and Aquaporin 1 in Prion Protein Plaques [PDF]
Journal of Neuropathology & Experimental Neurology, 2020 Abstract Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker (GSS) disease with P102L mutation and familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) with V180I mutation are 2 major hereditary prion diseases in Japan. GSS and some familial CJD [V180I] exhibit characteristic prion protein (PrP) plaques. Overexpression of the astrocytic water channel proteins aquaporin (

Aquaporins: relevance to cerebrospinal fluid physiology and therapeutic potential in hydrocephalus
Cerebrospinal Fluid Research, 2010 The discovery of a family of membrane water channel proteins called aquaporins, and the finding that aquaporin 1 was located in the choroid plexus, has prompted interest in the role of aquaporins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production and consequently ...
