Saliva in the mouth is a biofluid produced mainly by three pairs of major salivary glands–the
submandibular, parotid and sublingual glands–along with secretions from many minor …

The choroid plexus epithelium is a cuboidal cell monolayer, which produces the majority of
the cerebrospinal fluid. The concerted action of a variety of integral membrane proteins …

Salivary glands sustain collateral damage following radiotherapy (RT) to treat cancers of the
head and neck, leading to complications, including mucositis, xerostomia and …

В настоящей книге, как и в предыдущих ее изданиях, изложены биохимические
процессы, происходящие в твердых и мягких тканях ротовой полости. Следует …

The water permeability of biological membranes has been a longstanding problem in
physiology, but the proteins responsible for this remained unknown until discovery of the …

Background Emerging evidence supports the view that (AQP) aquaporin water channels are
regulators of transcellular water flow. Consistent with their expression in most tissues, AQPs …

Oral homeostasis is dependent upon saliva and its content of proteins. Reflex salivary flow
occurs at a low 'resting'rate and for short periods of the day more intense taste or chewing …

Our understanding of the movement of water through cell membranes has been greatly
advanced by the discovery of a family of water-specific, membrane-channel proteins—the …

Aquaporins (AQP) are integral membrane proteins that serve as channels in the transfer of
water, and in some cases, small solutes across the membrane. They are conserved in …

▪ Abstract The secretion of fluid and electrolytes by salivary gland acinar cells requires the
coordinated regulation of multiple water and ion transporter and channel proteins. Notably …
