Aquaporins (AQPs) are usually present at the plasma membrane to regulate influx and
outflow of water and small molecules. They are important for the regulation of water …

Aquaporins (AQPs) were originally identified as channels facilitating water transport across
the plasma membrane. They have a pair of highly conserved signature sequences …

Eleven aquaporins are identified in mammals. They all have highly conserved two
asparagine-proline-alanine (NPA) boxes that are important for the formation of the water …

The membrane water channel aquaporin (AQP) family is composed of 13 isoforms in
mammals, eight of which are reportedly expressed in the kidney: AQP1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and …

Background The mammalian two superaquaporins, AQP11 and AQP12, are present inside
the cell and their null phenotypes in mice suggest their unusual functions. Scope of review …

Thirteen members of mammalian aquaporins have been identified. Initial ten members (AQP-
AQP9) are relatively well detailed and their roles are clarified. However, the last three …

Water can diffuse freely through the lipid bilayer at a limited rate or by water channel
proteins in a rapid speed. Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of membrane water channel …

AQP11 is a member of a new aquaporin subfamily which includes many aquaporin
homologs with low amino acid identities, around 20% of previously identified AQPs …

Transgenic mouse models of aquaporin (AQP) deletion and mutation have been instructive
in elucidating the role of AQPs in renal physiology. Mice lacking AQP1 are unable to …

Thirteen aquaporins have been identified in mammals. They all have highly conserved two
asparagineproline-alanine (NPA) boxes that are important for the formation of water …
