Kidney International, 1996 Aquaporins (AQPs) are a newly recognized family of transmembrane proteins that function as molecular water channels. At least four aquaporins are expressed in the kidney where they mediate rapid water transport across water-permeable epithelia and play critical roles in urinary concentrating and diluting processes.

Aquaporins in the kidney: physiology and pathophysiology.
AJP - Renal Physiology, 2019 The kidney is the central organ involved in maintaining water and sodium balance. In human kidneys, nine aquaporins (AQPs) including AQP1-8 and AQP11 have been found and are differentially expressed along renal tubules and collecting ducts with distinct ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Recurrence and new cases of cancer constitute a challenging human health problem. Aquaporins (AQPs) can be expressed in many types of tumours, including the brain, breast, pancreas, colon, skin, ovaries, and lungs, and the histological grade of cancer is

Foliar Mineral Treatments for The Reduction of Melon (Cucumis melo L.) Fruit Cracking
Agronomy, 2020 Fruit cracking affects many types of crops and is a major problem since the breakage of the surface of the fruit produces high economic losses. Numerous studies have looked at different ways to prevent this, mainly in melon, but with a low success rate ...

Aquaporins in regulation of plant protective responses to drought
Ukrainian Botanical Journal, 2021 Plasmolemma permeability is an integral indicator of the functional state of plant cells under stress. Aquaporins (AQPs), specialized transmembrane proteins that form water channels and play an important role in the adaptation of plants to adverse ...
