… Conclusions: AQP0 is known to bind lipids in the opposing membrane. Our data suggest
that this cell-to-cell adhesion occurs not only in the AQP0/liquids but also via AQP0/AQP0 …

… Intact and C-terminally cleaved AQP0 perform cell-to-cell … Cell-to-cell adhesion (CTCA),
which is key for establishing lens … AQP0-induced CTCA in intact AQP0 and C-terminally cleaved …

… It is postulated that the cell-to-cell adhesion function of AQP0 serves to increase the proximity
of adjacent fiber cells, thus enhancing the probability of gap junction formation. In primary …

… a cell-to-cell adhesion (CTCA) protein in a knockin (KI) mouse model (AQP0 ΔC/ΔC ) that
does not express intact AQP0. … of intact and cleaved AQP0 ie, whether both types can perform …

… for adhesion in mammalian AQP0, highlighting the importance of residue 110 in AQP0
cell-to-cell adhesion in vertebrate lenses as well as the divergence of adhesive and water …

… intact AQP0 can perform cell-to-cell adhesion [17]. An alternative suggestion for the low
permeation property of mammalian AQP0 … the Aqp0 channels, we tested the cell-to-cell adhesion …

… (AQP0) are involved in lens fiber cell-to-cell adhesion (CTCA), and the possible mechanism
of CTCA. AQP0 … we used intact and C-terminal end cleaved AQP0 to study the mechanism of …

… in zebrafish confirmed that intact functional AQP0 is essential for … between the water channel
and adhesive functions of AQP0. … by performing a simulation of AQP0 with H40 protonated. …

… adhesion function of AQP0, we conducted a cell adhesion … , we also performed the cell-to-cell
adhesion assay through the … cortical fiber cells exhibit the intact cell membranes (arrows) in …

… Besides functioning as a water channel, AQP0 plays a crucial structural role as an adhesion
… to isolate fully intact, which was different from WT and Cx50 and AQP0 single KO lenses. …
