Aquaporins (AQPs) facilitate water transport across epithelia and play an important role in
normal physiology and disease in the human airways. We used in situ hybridization and …

The molecular pathways for fluid transport in pulmonary, oral, and nasal tissues are still
unresolved. Here we use immunocytochemistry and immunoelectron microscopy to define …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are small, integral membrane proteins that facilitate water transport
across cell membranes in response to osmotic gradients. Water transport across epithelia …

Fluid transport across epithelial and endothelial barriers occurs in the neonatal and adult
lungs. Biophysical measurements in the intact lung and cell isolates have indicated that …

At birth water is rapidly reabsorbed from the distal lung in preparation for alveolar gas
exchange. To investigate a potential role for the AQP1 water channel in development, lung …

Water transport across epithelial and endothelial barriers in bronchopulmonary tissues
occurs during airway hydration, alveolar fluid transport, and submucosal gland secretion …

Developmental expression of aquaporin water transport proteins is not well understood in
respiratory tract or secretory glands; here we define aquaporin protein ontogeny in rat …

The mammalian lung expresses water channel aquaporin-1 (AQP1) in microvascular
endothelia, AQP4 in airway epithelia, and AQP5 at the apical plasma membrane in type I …

The molecular determinants of water permeability in the human lung are incompletely
defined. Aquaporins (AQP) are water-specific membrane channel proteins. AQP1 is present …

The mammalian lung expresses water channel aquaporin-1 (AQP1) in microvascular
endothelia and aquaporin-4 (AQP4) in airway epithelia. To test whether these water …
