Aquaporin (AQP) water channels are pivotal to renal water handling and therefore in the
regulation of body water homeostasis. However, beyond the kidney, AQPs facilitate water …

Aquaporin (AQP) water channels facilitate passive transport of water across cellular
membranes following an osmotic gradient. AQPs are expressed in a multitude of epithelia …

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 …

Background Emerging evidence supports the view that (AQP) aquaporin water channels are
regulators of transcellular water flow. Consistent with their expression in most tissues, AQPs …

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 …

The discovery of aquaporin membrane water channels by Agre and coworkers answered a
long-standing biophysical question of how water specifically crosses biologic membranes …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a 13 member family (AQP0-12) of proteins that act as channels,
through which water and, for some family members, glycerol, urea and other small solutes …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane proteins that transport water and, in some cases, also
small solutes such as glycerol. AQPs are expressed in many fluid-transporting tissues, such …

Following the discovery of the aquaporin‐1 water channel over a decade ago, molecular
techniques have been developed to examine the role of renal aquaporin water channels …

As highly conserved ubiquitous proteins, aquaporins (AQPs) play an imperative role in the
development and progression of cancer. By trafficking water and other small molecules …
