Regulation of aquaporins in plants under stress
Biological Research, 2018 Aquaporins (AQP) are channel proteins belonging to the Major Intrinsic Protein (MIP) superfamily that play an important role in plant water relations. The main role of aquaporins in plants is transport of water and other small neutral molecules across ...

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

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 ...

Plant, Cell and Environment, 2019 Studies have suggested that increased root hydraulic conductivity in mycorrhizal roots could be the result of increased cell-to-cell water flux via aquaporins.

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.

Genome biology, 2006 Water is the major component of all living cells, and efficient regulation of water homeostasis is essential for many biological processes. The mechanism by which water passes through biological membranes was a matter of debate until the discovery of the aquaporin water channels.

Clinical & Medical Biochemistry, 2017 Sepsis is a common cause of death in intensive care units worldwide. Due to the high complexity of this immunological syndrome development of novel therapeutic strategies is urgent. Promising drug targets or biomarkers may depict aquaporins (AQPs) as they regulate several key mechanisms of sepsis.
