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 …

Mutations and knockout of aquaporin 0 (AQP0) result in dominant lens cataract. To date,
several functions have been proposed for AQP0; however, two functions, water permeability …

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 …

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 …

Cell-to-cell adhesion (CTCA), which is key for establishing lens transparency, is a critical
function of Aquaporin 0 (AQP0). The aim of this investigation was to find out the possible …

Purpose.: Lens fiber cell membranes contain aquaporin-0 (AQP0), which constitutes
approximately 50% of the total fiber cell membrane proteins and has a dual function as a …

Background Investigate the impact of natural N-or C-terminal post-translational truncations
of lens mature fiber cell Aquaporin 0 (AQP0) on water permeability (Pw) and cell-to-cell …

Abstract Aquaporin 0 (AQP0) is a transmembrane channel that constitutes∼ 45% of the total
membrane protein of the fiber cells in mammalian lens. It is critical for lens transparency and …

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 …

Two aquaporin (AQP)-type water channels are expressed in mammalian cornea, AQP1 in
endothelial cells and AQP5 in epithelial cells. To test whether these aquaporins are involved …
