Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of highly selective transmembrane channels that mainly
transport water across the cell and some facilitate low-molecular-weight solutes. Eight AQPs …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane proteins serving in the transfer of water and small solutes
across cellular membranes. AQPs play a variety of roles in the body such as urine formation …

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 …

Water is the most abundant molecule in any cell. Specialized membrane channel, proteins
called aquaporins, facilitate water transport across cell membranes. At least seven …

The discovery of aquaporin-1 (AQP1) answered the long-standing biophysical question of
how water specifically crosses biological membranes. In the kidney, at least seven …

Several aquaporin (AQP)-type water channels are expressed in kidney: AQP1 in the
proximal tubule, thin descending limb of Henle, and vasa recta; AQP2-6 in the collecting …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of membrane water channels that basically function as
regulators of intracellular and intercellular water flow. To date, thirteen AQPs, which are …

Seven aquaporin water channels are expressed in human kidneys, and they have key roles
in maintaining body water homeostasis. Impairment of their function can result in …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of small hydrophobic, integral membrane proteins that are
expressed in all living organisms and play critical roles in controlling the water flow into and …

The discovery of aquaporin-1 (AQP1) by Agre and associates answered the longstanding
biophysical question of how water specifically crosses biological membranes. In the kidney …
