Discovery of aquaporin water channel proteins has provided insight into the molecular
mechanism of membrane water permeability. In mammalian brain, Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is …

Six years have elapsed since the publication of the Neuroscience Special Issue entitled
“Brain Water Homeostasis”(Agre et al., 2004). Several of the chapters in the latter Special …

Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a water channel protein that plays an important role in water
movement in the central nervous system (CNS). Recently, presence of anti-AQP4 antibody …

About 80% of the brain is water. This review discusses the importance of the three brain
water-channel proteins (AQP1, AQP4, AQP9) in brain physiology. AQP1 is expressed in the …

The aquaporins (AQPs) are plasma membrane water-transporting proteins. AQP4 is the
principal member of this protein family in the CNS, where it is expressed in astrocytes and is …

Abstract Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a water-selective transporter expressed in astrocytes
throughout the central nervous system, as well as in kidney, lung, stomach and skeletal …

Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a water channel expressed on astrocytic endfeet in the brain. The
role of AQP4 has been studied in health and in a range of pathological conditions. Interest in …

Aquaporin (AQP) is a water channel protein that is expressed in the cell membranes. AQPs
are related to several kinds of human diseases such as cataract. In the mammalian central …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are water channel molecules that allow the passage of water through
the lipid bilayers of cell membranes. AQP1, AQP4 and AQP9 are expressed in the central …

Aquaporins constitute a family of water channels that regulate the transport of water in
essentially all organs, including the kidney, gastrointestinal tract, secretory glands, inner ear …
