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 …

Stomach and intestines are involved in the secretion of gastrointestinal fluids and the
absorption of nutrients and fluids, which ensure normal gut functions. Aquaporin water …

Fluid transport is a major function of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract with more than 9 litres of
fluid being absorbed or secreted across epithelia in human salivary gland, stomach, the …

Water transport through the human digestive system is physiologically crucial for
maintaining body water homeostasis and ensure digestive and absorptive functions. Within …

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 …

Aquaporins increase the water permeability in many cell types across many species. We
investigated the effects of external pH and Ca 2+ on water permeability ofXenopus oocytes …

A role for aquaporins (AQPs) in hearing has been suggested from the specific expression of
aquaporins in inner ear and the need for precise volume regulation in epithelial cells …

The aquaporin family of membrane water transport proteins are expressed in diverse
tissues, and in brain the predominant water channel protein is AQP4. Here we report the …

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a severe, debilitating human disease that predominantly
features immunopathology in the optic nerves and the spinal cord. An IgG1 autoantibody …

A family of water-selective channels, aquaporins (AQP), has been demonstrated in various
organs and tissues. However, the localization and expression of the AQP family members in …
