Aquaporin (AQP) 4 is a water-specific channel protein and is abundant in central nervous
tissues and skeletal muscles. Recently, the AQP4 molecule has been increasingly …

We report a detailed study of AQP4 expression in the neuromuscular system of mdx mice.
Immunocytochemical analysis performed by double immunostaining revealed that mdx mice …

Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) is a water channel protein that is widely distributed in human tissues.
However, the precise functional role of AQP4 in skeletal muscle tissue has not yet been …

Aquaporins are a growing family of transmembrane proteins that transport water and, in
some cases, glycerol and urea across cellular membranes. Aquaporin‐4 (AQP4) is enriched …

ABSTRACT Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive lethal muscle disease
that affects young boys. Dystrophin, absent in DMD and reduced in the milder form Becker …

Abstract Altered aquaporin‐4 (AQP4) expression has been reported in brain edema, tumors,
muscular dystrophy, and neuromyelitis optica. However, the plasma membrane organization …

It has been proposed that aquaporin-4 (AQP4), a water channel expressed at the
plasmalemma of skeletal muscle cells, is important in normal muscle physiology and in the …

ABSTRACT Aquaporin‐4 (AQP4) is the major water channel of the neuromuscular system,
but its physiological function in both perivascular astrocytes and skeletal muscle …

In the peripheral nervous system aquaporins (AQPs) have been reported in both peripheral
neurons and glial cells. Previously we described the precise localization of AQP1 in the rat …

Abstract Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a water channel protein that is predominantly expressed in
astrocytes in the CNS. The rapid water flux through AQP4 may contribute to electrolyte/water …
