accomplished through convective bulk flow of ISF, facilitated by astrocytic aquaporin 4 (AQP4) water channels. The name "glymphatic system" was coined by the...

AMP-dependent process that culminates in increased production of water channels (aquaporin 2), and their insertion into the cells’ luminal membranes. Excessive ADH...

insertion of water channels (Aquaporin-2) into the apical membrane of collecting tubule and collecting duct epithelial cells. Aquaporins allow water to move down...

MIP superfamily includes three subfamilies: aquaporins, aquaglyceroporins and S-aquaporins. The aquaporins (AQPs) are water selective. The aquaglyceroporins...

permeable to water but impermeable to solutes, due to the presence of aquaporin 1 in its tubular wall. Thus, water moves across the tubular wall into...
