Abstract Aquaporin 0 (AQP0) and AQP1 are expressed in the lens, each in a different cell
type, and their functional roles are not thoroughly understood. Our previous study showed …

The expression of the water channel protein aquaporin (AQP)-5 in adult rodent and human
lenses was recently reported using immunohistochemistry, molecular biology, and mass …

Until recently, the lens was thought to express only two aquaporin (AQP) water channels,
AQP1 and AQP0. In this study we confirm lenticular AQP5 protein expression by Western …

Purpose.: The zebrafish lens is well suited for studies of physiology and development due to
its rapid formation in the embryo and genetic accessibility. Aquaporin 0 (AQP0), a lens …

Purpose.: AQP0, formerly known as MIP26, likely has multiple separate functions in the
mammalian lens, including water transport, formation of thin junctions, and interactions with …

Aquaporin-0 (AQP0), a water transport channel protein, is the major intrinsic protein (MIP) of
lens fiber cell plasma membranes. Mice deficient in the gene for AQP0 (Aqp0, Mip) were …

Aquaporins (AQPs) constitute a major conduit for movement of water across plasma
membranes. AQP0 is expressed in the fiber cells and is critical for lens transparency and …

Multiple physiological fluid movements are involved in vision. Here we define the cellular
and subcellular sites of aquaporin (AQP) water transport proteins in human and rat eyes by …

Aquaporin 0 (AQP0) is the major intrinsic protein of the lens and its water permeability can
be modulated by changes in pH and Ca2+. The Cataract Fraser (CatFr) mouse accumulates …

The aquaporin (AQP) transmembrane proteins facilitate the movement of water across the
plasma membrane. In the lens, AQP0 is expressed in fiber cells and AQP1 in the epithelium …
