Aquaporins are membrane-channel proteins that are present at all levels of life, from bacteria to mammals. Most aquaporins are selectively permeated by water, although some family members are ...

Regulation of aquaporin-2 by vasopressin is a result of cyclic AMP (cAMP)–dependent activation of a protein kinase network that causes increased transcription of AQP2 and redistribution of ...

Water flux between cells is facilitated by proteins embedded in the membrane, so-called aquaporins. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen succeeded to ...

Aquaporins are a class of proteins that form membrane channels in cell walls and allow for water movement between a cell and its surroundings. A number of aquaporins, including aquaporin-1 ...

Aquaporins, which belong to a class of membrane proteins known as water-transporters, were first identified in 1993 by American molecular biologist and Nobel Laureate, Peter Agre. The concept of ...

The next 5 years will witness more research on protein structures of parasite aquaporins leading to novel and improved therapeutic targets.

The following is a summary of “Fluctuations in serum aquaporin-4 antibody titers: the clinical significance in neuromyelitis ...

In these studies, they found that cells that lacked the NGLY1 protein had fewer aquaporins—proteins that connect the inside and outside of a cell and control water movement—and were resistant ...

The astrocyte-specific water channel protein Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) is a key mediator of the glymphatic system, which clears amyloid-β and other waste products from the brain. And every once in a ...
