Aquaporins are a group of proteins with high-selective permeability for water. A subgroup called aquaglyceroporins is also permeable to glycerol, urea and a few other solutes. Aquaporin function has mainly been studied in the brain, kidney, glands and skeletal muscle, while the information about aquaporins in the heart is still scarce.

Recent researches have demonstrated that aquaporins (AQPs), including water-selective channels, aquaglyceroporins and superaquaporins, are generally expressed in various tumors, such as lung, colorectal, liver, brain, breast tumors, etc. Therefore, it is imperative to study the accurate relationship between AQPs and tumor, which may provide innovative ...

Aquaporins (AQP) are members of the major intrinsic protein superfamily of integral membrane proteins, which function as specialized water channels to facilitate the passage of water through the cell membrane in animals, plants and bacterias. Ten AQP homologues named from 0 to 9 have been clones so far in mammals.

Biophysical Reviews, 2023
Cellular systems must deal with mechanical forces to satisfy their physiological functions. In this context, proteins with mechanosensitive properties play a crucial role in sensing and responding to environmental changes. The discovery of aquaporins (AQPs) marked a significant breakthrough in the study of water transport.

AbstractAlthough very often exposed to a rapid changing environment, plants are in general unable to evade from unfavourable conditions. Therefore, a fine tuned adaptation of physiology including the water balance appears to be of crucial importance. As a consequence a relatively large number of aquaporin genes are present in plant genomes.

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1998
The past year has brought significant advances in our understanding of the involvement of aquaporins in the regulation of water balance. Besides the identification of new mammalian aquaporins, highlights include the progress in our understanding of their cell-biological regulation and their roles in physiology and pathophysiology as deduced from ...

Water is the major component of cells and tissues. The fetal body consists of about 70-90% water and its fluid balance is dependent on the mother. In fact, abortion, premature birth, amniotic fluid volume abnormality, malformation and fetal growth restrictions might result when the homeostasis of the maternal-fetal fluid exchange is disrupted.

Hydrocephalus and Aquaporins: The Role of Aquaporin-1
2011Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane proteins that facilitate water and small solute movement in tissues. Hydrocephalus is a major central nervous system disorder associated with defective cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) turnover. Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) is a water channel located mainly at the choroid plexus epithelium and plays an active role in CSF production.

The major part of the eye consists of water. Continuous movement of water and ions between the ocular compartments and to the systemic circulation is pivotal for many physiological functions in the eye. The movement of water facilitates removal of the many metabolic products of corneal-, ciliary body-, lens-, and retinal metabolism, while maintaining ...

Hydrocephalus and Aquaporins: The Role of Aquaporin-4
2011Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane proteins that facilitate water and small solute movement in tissues. Hydrocephalus is the major central nervous system disorder associated with defective cerebrospinal fluid turnover. Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a water channel located mainly at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) interfaces and is
