The aquaporins are a family of water channels expressed in several water-transporting
tissues, including the kidney. We have used a peptide-derived, affinity-purified polyclonal …

The aquaporins are a family of transmembrane proteins that function as molecular water
channels. Recently, a mercurial-insensitive water channel [MIWC or aquaporin-4 (AQP4)] …

All characterized mammalian aquaporins (AQPs) are localized to plasma membranes where
they function chiefly to mediate water transport across cells. Here we show that AQP6 is …

The pattern of aquaporin-1 water channel protein (AQP1) expression in the human kidney
was analyzed by immunocytochemistry using semi-thin and optimized high-resolution …

Aquaporin-3 (AQP3) is unique in its structure (lowest homology with other aquaporins) and
in its function (significantly conductive to both small nonelectrolytes and water). However …

To establish the segmental, cellular, and subcellular localization of AQP7 in rat and mouse
kidney, we used RT-PCR, immunocytochemical, and immunoblotting approaches. RT-PCR …

First published August 8, 2001; 10.1152/ajprenal. 00158.2001.—The purpose of this study
was to determine the cellular and subcellular localization of aquaporin-8 (AQP8) in rat …

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 …

▪ Abstract Since the molecular identification of the first aquaporin in 1992, the number of
proteins known to belong to this family has been rapidly increasing. These members may be …

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 …
