The principal cell of the kidney collecting duct is one of the most highly regulated epithelial
cell types in vertebrates. The effects of hormonal, autocrine, and paracrine factors to regulate …

The aquaporins (AQPs) form a family of integral membrane proteins that facilitate the
movement of water across biological membrane by osmosis, as well as facilitating the …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are integral membrane proteins and found in all living organisms from
bacteria to human. AQPs mainly involved in the transmembrane diffusion of water as well as …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are ubiquitous membrane proteins whose identification, pioneered by
Peter Agre's team in the early nineties, provided a molecular basis for transmembrane water …

To prevent dehydration, terrestrial animals and humans have developed a sensitive and
versatile system to maintain their water homeostasis. In states of hypernatremia or …

The renal medulla produces concentrated urine through the generation of an osmotic
gradient extending from the cortico-medullary boundary to the inner medullary tip. This …

Aquaporins form a family of water and solute channel proteins and are present in most living
organisms. In plants, aquaporins play an important role in the regulation of root water …

Vasopressin controls water excretion through regulation of aquaporin-2 (AQP2) trafficking in
renal collecting duct cells. Using mass spectrometry, we previously demonstrated four …

Abstract Background Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of proteins that can act as water
channels. Regulation of AQPs is critical to osmoregulation and the maintenance of body …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of membrane water channels that basically function as
regulators of intracellular and intercellular water flow. To date, thirteen AQPs, which are …
