Water homeostasis is tightly regulated by the kidneys via the process of urine concentration. During reduced water intake, the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) binds to the vasopressin receptor type II (V2R) in the kidney to enhance ...

Visual Abstract Significance Statement Water reabsorption along the collecting duct is dependent on the function of aquaporin 2 (AQP2). Currently, information on microRNA (miRNA)-mediated, post-transcriptional regulation of AQP2, which may influence ...

Diabetes insipidus in mice with a mutation in aquaporin-2. [PDF]
Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a disease characterized by failure of the kidney to concentrate urine in response to vasopressin. Human kindreds with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus have been found to harbor mutations in the vasopressin

Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is primarily caused by loss-of-function mutations in the vasopressin type 2 receptor (V2R). Renal unresponsiveness to the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin impairs aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channel activity ...

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (DI) refers to the reduction in the ability of the kidney to concentrate urine, which can be caused by partial or complete resistance at the site of action of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) in the collecting tubules ...

An AMPK activator as a therapeutic option for congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) patients produce large amounts of dilute urine. NDI can be congenital, resulting from mutations in the type-2 vasopressin receptor (V2R), or acquired, resulting from medications such as lithium. There are no effective

Idiopathic partial central diabetes insipidus
Diabetes insipidus is a rare disorder characterized by the inability to concentrate urine, which results in hypotonic urine and increased urinary volume.

Molecular Characterization of an Aquaporin−2 Mutation Causing Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus
The aquaporin 2 (AQP2) plays a critical role in water reabsorption to maintain water homeostasis. AQP2 mutation leads to nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI), characterized by polyuria, polydipsia, and hypernatremia.
