Aquaporin-6: An intracellular vesicle water channel protein in renal epithelia [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 All characterized mammalian aquaporins (AQPs) are localized to plasma membranes where they function chiefly to mediate water transport across cells. Here we show that AQP6 is localized exclusively in intracellular membranes in renal epithelia. By using a polyclonal antibody to the C terminus of AQP6, immunoblots revealed a major 30-kDa band in ...

Plant Stress, 2021 The regulation of water column tension in the xylem is essential to avoid embolism formation. Plants can actively reduce the hydraulic resistance in the xylem by moving water from the neighbourhood living cell, via aquaporins.

Incipient balancing selection through adaptive loss of aquaporins in natural Saccharomyces cerevisiae populations. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2010 A major goal in evolutionary biology is to understand how adaptive evolution has influenced natural variation, but identifying loci subject to positive selection has been a challenge.

Multiple Sclerosis Journal - Experimental, Translational and Clinical, 2019 Background Demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system associated with autoantibodies against aquaporin-4 and myelin-oligodendrocyte-glycoprotein are mediated by different immunopathological mechanisms compared to multiple sclerosis.

Expression Analysis of Sugarcane Aquaporin Genes under Water Deficit
Journal of Nucleic Acids, 2013 The present work is a pioneer study specifically addressing the aquaporin transcripts in sugarcane transcriptomes. Representatives of the four aquaporin subfamilies (PIP, TIP, SIP, and NIP), already described for higher plants, were identified. Forty-two

Aquaporin-6 is expressed along the rat gastrointestinal tract and upregulated by feeding in the small intestine [PDF]
BMC Physiology, 2009 Several aquaporins (a family of integral membrane proteins) have been recently identified in the mammalian gastrointestinal tract, and their involvement in the movement of fluid and small solutes has been suggested. In this direction we investigated, in some regions of the rat gastrointestinal tract, the presence and localization of aquaporin-6, given ...

Adenylate Cyclase 6 Determines cAMP Formation and Aquaporin-2 Phosphorylation and Trafficking in Inner Medulla [PDF]
Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2010 Arginine vasopressin (AVP) enhances water reabsorption in the renal collecting duct by vasopressin V₂ receptor (V₂R)-mediated activation of adenylyl cyclase (AC), cAMP-promoted phosphorylation of aquaporin-2 (AQP2), and increased abundance of AQP2 on the apical membrane.

Conversion of aquaporin 6 from an anion channel to a water-selective channel by a single amino acid substitution [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005 Aquaporin (AQP) 6 belongs to the aquaporin water channel family. Unlike other aquaporins, AQP6 functions not as a water channel but as an anion-selective channel. Single-channel analyses have shown AQP6 to flicker rapidly between closed and open status.
