The aquaporins (AQPs) are plasma membrane water-transporting proteins. AQP4 is the
principal member of this protein family in the CNS, where it is expressed in astrocytes and is …

Abstract Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a water-channel protein expressed strongly in the brain,
predominantly in astrocyte foot processes at the borders between the brain parenchyma and …

Neuromyelitis optica is an inflammatory demyelinating disorder of the CNS. The discovery of
circulating IgG1 antibodies against the astrocyte water channel protein aquaporin 4 (AQP4) …

Abstract Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) is a water channel protein expressed widely in vascular
endothelia, where it increases cell membrane water permeability,,. The role of AQP1 in …

ABSTRACT Aquaporin‐4 (AQP4) is the major water channel in the brain, expressed
predominantly in astroglial cell membranes. Initial studies in AQP4‐deficient mice showed …

The aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of small, integral membrane proteins that facilitate water
transport across the plasma membranes of cells in response to osmotic gradients. Data from …

Neuromyelitis optica is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system
associated with autoantibodies against the glial water channel protein aquaporin-4. It has …

Aquaporin-4, the major water-selective channel in astroglia throughout the central nervous
system, facilitates water movement into and out of the brain. Here, we identify a novel role for …

The aquaporins (AQPs) are small, integral-membrane proteins that selectively transport
water across cell plasma membranes. A subset of AQPs, the aquaglyceroporins, also …

Objectives Encephalopathy is a common complication of sepsis. This review describes the
