Aquaporin water channels in transepithelial fluid transport.
Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane water channels that are involved in a diverse set of functions in mammalian physiology including epithelial fluid transport, brain water balance, cell migration, cell proliferation, neuroexcitation, fat metabolism, epidermal hydration, and others. Phenotype analysis of knockout mice has demonstrated an important role for AQPs in transepithelial fluid transport in ...
متن کاملWater transport activity of the plasma membrane aquaporin PM28A is regulated by phosphorylation.
PM28A is a major intrinsic protein of the spinach leaf plasma membrane and the major phosphoprotein. Phosphorylation of PM28A is dependent in vivo on the apoplastic water potential and in vitro on submicromolar concentrations of Ca2+. Here, we demonstrate that PM28A is an aquaporin and that its water channel activity is regulated by phosphorylation. Wild-type and mutant forms of PM28A, in which...
متن کاملAdaptation to fasting by glycerol transport through aquaporin 7 in adipose tissue.
Adipocytes hydrolyze triglycerides and secrete free fatty acids and glycerol into the circulation. The molecular mechanism involved in glycerol transport from adipocytes has not been elucidated. Here, we investigated glycerol and glucose metabolism in mice lacking aquaporin 7 (Aqp7), a member of the aquaglyceroporins expressed in adipose tissue, and demonstrated that Aqp7 functions as a glycero...
متن کاملRat Aquaporin-5 Is pH-Gated Induced by Phosphorylation and Is Implicated in Oxidative Stress
Aquaporin-5 (AQP5) is a membrane water channel widely distributed in human tissues that was found up-regulated in different tumors and considered implicated in carcinogenesis in different organs and systems. Despite its wide distribution pattern and physiological importance, AQP5 short-term regulation was not reported and mechanisms underlying its involvement in cancer are not well defined. In ...
متن کاملAquaporin-9 protein is the primary route of hepatocyte glycerol uptake for glycerol gluconeogenesis in mice.
It has been hypothesized that aquaporin-9 (AQP9) is part of the unknown route of hepatocyte glycerol uptake. In a previous study, leptin receptor-deficient wild-type mice became diabetic and suffered from fasting hyperglycemia whereas isogenic AQP9(-/-) knock-out mice remained normoglycemic. The reason for this improvement in AQP9(-/-) mice was not established before. Here, we show increased gl...
