The main water channel of the brain, aquaporin-4 (AQP4), is one of the classical water-
specific aquaporins. It is expressed in many epithelial tissues in the basolateral membrane …

Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is the most abundant water channel in the central nervous system and
plays a fundamental role in maintaining water homeostasis there. In adult mice, AQP4 is …

Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a bidirectional water channel that is found on astrocytes throughout
the central nervous system. Expression is particularly high around areas in contact with …

Aquaporin-9 (AQP9) is a new member of the aquaporin family of water-selective channels
mainly expressed in liver and testis, presenting the characteristic of also being permeable to …

The family of aquaporins (AQPs), membrane water channels, consists of diverse types of
proteins that are mainly permeable to water; some are also permeable to small solutes, such …

The main water channel in the brain, aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is involved in maintaining
homeostasis and water exchange in the brain. In adult mammalian brains, it is expressed in …

Aquaporins (AQPs) represent a diverse family of membrane proteins found in prokaryotes
and eukaryotes. The primary aquaporins expressed in the mammalian brain are AQP1 …

Abstract Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a water channel protein that is predominantly expressed in
astrocytes in the CNS. The rapid water flux through AQP4 may contribute to electrolyte/water …

The aquaporin channel family was first considered as a family of water channels, however it
is now clear that some of these channels are also permeable to small solutes such glycerol …

Water homeostasis in the brain is of central physiologic and clinical importance. Neuronal
activity and ion water homeostasis are inextricably coupled. For example, the clearance of …
