Nanoscale materials are increasingly found in consumer goods, electronics, and
pharmaceuticals. While these particles interact with the body in myriad ways, their beneficial …

The discovery of aquaporin-1 (AQP1) answered the long-standing biophysical question of
how water specifically crosses biological membranes. In the kidney, at least seven …

▪ Abstract The high water permeability characteristic of mammalian red cell membranes is
now known to be caused by the protein AQP1. This channel freely permits movement of …

The water permeability of cell membranes differs by orders of magnitude, and most of this
variability reflects the differential expression of aquaporin water channels. We have recently …

The aquaporin-2 (AQP2) vasopressin water channel is translocated to the apical membrane
upon vasopressin stimulation. Phosphorylation of serine 256 of AQP2 by cAMP-dependent …

Vacuolar H+-ATPases are ubiquitous multisubunit complexes mediating the ATP-dependent
transport of protons. In addition to their role in acidifying the lumen of various intracellular …

It was shown recently that water channel homologs MIWC (mercurial insensitive water
channel) and GLIP (glycerol intrinsic protein) colocalized in basolateral membranes of …

Multiple physiological fluid movements are involved in vision. Here we define the cellular
and subcellular sites of aquaporin (AQP) water transport proteins in human and rat eyes by …

The discovery of aquaporin membrane water channels by Agre and coworkers answered a
long-standing biophysical question of how water specifically crosses biologic membranes …

▪ Abstract Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, which can be inherited or acquired, is
characterized by an inability to concentrate urine despite normal or elevated plasma …
