Ensuring the proper amount of water inside the body is essential for survival. One of the key
factors in the maintenance of body water balance is water reabsorption in the collecting …

In the kidney aquaporin-2 (AQP2) provides a target for hormonal regulation of water
transport by vasopressin. Short-term control of water permeability occurs via vesicular …

Arginine‐vasopressin (AVP) regulates water reabsorption in renal collecting duct principal
cells. Its binding to Gs‐coupled vasopressin V2 receptors increases cyclic AMP (cAMP) and …

Trafficking of water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2) to the apical membrane is critical to water
reabsorption in renal collecting ducts and its regulation maintains body water homeostasis …

The mammalian aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of 13 transmembrane channel proteins that
are involved in the transport of water in numerous organs. In the male excurrent duct, the …

Targeted positioning of water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2) strictly regulates body water
homeostasis. Trafficking of AQP2 to the apical membrane is critical to the reabsorption of …

The male reproductive tract and accessory glands comprise a complex but interrelated
system of tissues that are composed of many distinct cell types, all of which contribute to the …

In the renal collecting duct, binding of AVP to the V2 receptor triggers signaling changes that
regulate osmotic water transport. Short-term regulation of water transport is dependent on …

Background Diuretic agents are widely used on the treatment of water retention related
diseases, among which acetazolamide (AZA) acts originally as a carbonic anhydrase (CA) …

Aquaporin 5 (AQP5) participates in the migration of endometrial cells. Elucidation of the
molecular mechanisms associated with AQP5-mediated, migration of endometrial cells may …
