The epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, is the first barrier that comes into contact with
the external environment. It plays an important role in resisting the invasion of harmful …

Abstract Aquaporin-3 (AQP3) is an aquaglyceroporin that plays a role in skin hydration, cell
proliferation, and migration. The aim of this work was to investigate the expression of AQP3 …

The skin is essential for terrestrial life. It is responsible for regulating water permeability and
functions as a mechanical barrier that protects against environmental insults such as …

ABSTRACT Backgroud/Objectives: Aquaporin 3 (AQP3) is a protein implicated in skin
hydration. AQP3 null mice have relatively dry skin, reduced skin elasticity, and delayed …

Abstract Aquaporin 9 (AQP9) is a member of the aquaglyceroporin family that transports
glycerol, urea and other small solutes as well as water. Compared to the expression and …

Solar ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is one of the most significant extrinsic factors contributing to
skin photoaging. One major characteristic of photoaging induced by UV is water loss of the …

Aquaporin-3 (AQP3) is a water/glycerol-transporting protein expressed in keratinocytes of
the epidermis. We previously showed that AQP3-mediated transport of water and glycerol is …

Healing of skin wounds is a multi-step process involving the migration and proliferation of
basal keratinocytes in epidermis, which strongly express the water/glycerol-transporting …

Skin function deteriorates with aging, and the dermal water content decreases. In this study,
we have analyzed the mechanism of aging-related skin dryness focusing on aquaporins …

Abstract Aquaporin-3 (AQP3) is a water/glycerol transporting protein expressed strongly at
the plasma membrane of keratinocytes. There is evidence for involvement of AQP3 …
