Water regulation plays a crucial role in the human body. Water flux between cells is facilitated by proteins embedded in the membrane, so-called aquaporins. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute ...

Background/objectives: Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of proteins (AQP0-12) ubiquitously expressed acting as cell membrane water channels. AQP 1/3/8/9 expression has been found in human placenta ...

What does a review of the literature indicate about aquaporins found in Apicomplexan, Kinetoplastida, and Microsporidia parasites as potential drug targets? News & Perspective Drugs & Diseases ...

Only a very few mutations to aquaporins are known to be involved in disease in humans, one being diabetes insipidus, a hereditary disease characterized by loss of function in AQP2, which ...

Aquaporins are vital There are 13 different types of aquaporins in the human body. One of these, AQP2, is found in the kidney where it is responsible for a large-volume recirculation of water from ...

Aquaporins (AQPs) are important in controlling water permeability. As AQP1 is known as a serum-responsive gene, we hypothesized that AQP expression may be involved in the development of human cancer.

Aquaporins are found all over the human body: they’re used to transport water through membranes and filter out ions so that cells can remain healthy.

Researchers have achieved dynamic, atomic-scale views of a protein needed to maintain the transparency of the lens in the human eye. The work could lead to new insights and drugs for treating ...
