The main role of salivary glands (SG) is the production and secretion of saliva, in which
aquaporins (AQPs) play a key role by ensuring water flow. The AQPs are transmembrane …

Salivary glands are involved in secretion of saliva, which is known to participate in the
protection and hydratation of mucosal structures within the oral cavity, oropharynx and …

Little is known about the presence of the various membrane‐located water channels,
aquaporins (AQP), during the prenatal and postnatal development of the mouse …

Salivary glands are involved in saliva secretion that ensures proper oral health. Aquaporins
are expressed in salivary glands and play a major role in saliva secretion. This review will …

Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic
infiltration of salivary and lacrimal glands resulting in diminished production of saliva and …

Aquaporins (AQPs) is a family of membrane bound water channels found in most tissues. In
addition to contribute to transepithelial water movement, AQPs are shown to be involved in a …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are channel proteins that regulate the movement of water through the
plasma membrane of secretory and absorptive cells in response to osmotic gradients. In the …

Regarding the 13 known mammalian aquaporins (AQPs), their functions in their expressing
tissues, effects of their mutation/polymorphisms in humans, and effects of knockout of their …

Salivary, lacrimal and pancreatic secretions are known to account for multiple physiological
functions. These exocrine secretions are watery fluids containing electrolytes, and a mixture …

Abstract Aquaporin 5 (AQP5) is known to be central for salivary fluid secretion. A study of the
temporal-spatial distribution of AQP5 during submandibular gland (SMG) development and …
