lüll Regulation and dysregulation of aquaporins in water balance disorders Nielsen S; Kwon TH; Frokiaer J; Agre PJ Intern Med 2007[Jan]; 261 (1): 53-64The discovery of aquaporin-1 (AQP1) explained the long-standing biophysical question of how water specifically crosses biological membranes. These studies led to the identification of a whole new family of membrane proteins, the aquaporin water channels. At present, at least eight aquaporins are expressed at distinct sites in the kidney and four members of this family (AQP1-4) have been demonstrated to play pivotal roles in the physiology and pathophysiology for renal regulation of body water balance. In the present review, a number of inherited and acquired conditions characterized by urinary concentration defects as well as common diseases associated with severe water retention are discussed with relation to the role of aquaporins in regulation and dysregulation of renal water transport.|Animals[MESH]|Aquaporins/*metabolism[MESH]|Biological Transport, Active[MESH]|Cardiovascular Diseases/*metabolism[MESH]|Cell Membrane/metabolism[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Kidney Diseases/*metabolism[MESH]|Kidney/metabolism[MESH]|Liver Cirrhosis[MESH]|Liver/metabolism[MESH]|Myocardium/metabolism[MESH]|Water-Electrolyte Balance[MESH] |
