Abstract Aquaporin 0 (AQP0) is an integral membrane protein that facilitates water transport
and cellular adhesion in the lens. Its dysfunction has been associated with cataractogenesis …

Aquaporin 0 (AQP0) formerly known as membrane intrinsic protein (MIP), is expressed
exclusively in the lens during terminal differentiation of fiber cells. AQP0 plays an important …

Because of the lack of protein turnover in fiber cells of the ocular lens, Aquaporin 0 (AQP0),
the most abundant membrane protein in the lens, undergoes extensive post-translational …

purpose. To first assess the distribution of posttranslationally truncated products of
aquaporin 0 (AQP0) in dissected sections of a normal human lens and to determine the …

Aquaporin 0 is the most abundant membrane protein in the lens and is a member of the
aquaporin family of water channels. Mutations in the AQP0 gene underlie cataracts in mice …

purpose. Aquaporin 0 (AQP0), the most abundant membrane protein in the lens, is a water-
permeable channel, has a role in fiber cell adhesion, and is essential for fiber cell structure …

Maintenance of proper biomechanics of the eye lens is important for its structural integrity
and for the process of accommodation to focus near and far objects. Several studies have …

Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) water channel protein expression is increased by hypertonic stress.
The contribution of changes in protein stability to hypertonic induction of AQP1 have not …

Aquaporin (AQP) 1 and AQP0 water channels are expressed in lens epithelial and fiber
cells, respectively, facilitating fluid circulation for nourishing the avascular lens to maintain …

Purpose: The goal of the present study is to map the spatial distribution of posttranslationally
modified forms of the most abundant lens membrane protein, Aquaporin 0 (AQP0, MIP), in …
