Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is one of the most abundant molecules in the brain and is particularly
prevalent in astrocytic membranes at the blood-brain and brain-liquor interfaces. While …

Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is the main water channel protein expressed in the central nervous
system (CNS). AQP4 is densely expressed in astrocyte end-feet, and is an important factor in …

The brain has high-order functions and is composed of several kinds of cells, such as
neurons and glial cells. It is becoming clear that many kinds of neurodegenerative diseases …

Three aquaporins are expressed in the brain. AQP4, the predominant brain water channel,
is expressed in astrocyte endfeet facing brain capillaries, perisynaptic spaces, and nodes of …

Water channel proteins, AQPs (aquaporins), of the PIP (plasma membrane intrinsic protein)
subfamily, provide a means for fine and quick adjustments of the plant water status. A …

Aquaporins are transmembrane channels that allow for the passive permeation of water and
other small molecules across biological membranes. Their channel activities are sensitive to …

Aquaporins are a superfamily of integral membrane proteins that facilitate the rapid and yet
highly selective flux of water and other small solutes across biological membranes. Since …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of small transmembrane proteins that selectively transport
water and other small molecules and ions following an osmotic gradient across cell plasma …

Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a rare but severe complication of peritoneal
dialysis (PD) characterized by extensive fibrosis of the peritoneum. Changes in peritoneal …

The water permeability of aquaporin-11 (AQP11), which has a cysteine substituted for an
alanine at a highly conserved asparagine-proline-alanine (NPA) motif in the water channel …
