Aquaporin 4 and its Relationship with Brain Astrocytomas – Literature Review
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

Evaluation of aquaporin‐4 antibody assays [PDF]
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 ...

Structural basis of aquaporin-4 autoantibody binding in neuromyelitis optica. [PDF]
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system where pathogenic autoantibodies target the water channel aquaporin-4 on human astrocytes causing neurological impairment. Autoantibody binding leads to complement-dependent

Accumulation of Astrocytic Aquaporin 4 and Aquaporin 1 in Prion Protein Plaques [PDF]
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 (
