• Astrocytes and Brain Injury (2003, background): “Aquaporins are a family of membrane proteins that mediate rapid transmembrane transport of water (Venero et al., 2001; Agre et al., 2002).”
• Aquaporin‐4 facilitates reabsorption of excess fluid in vasogenic brain edema (2004, background): “The AQPs are a family of water channel proteins that provide the major route for water movement across plasma membranes in many cell types (13, 14).”
• More than just water channels: unexpected cellular roles of aquaporins (2005, background): “AQP1, AQP2, AQP4, AQP5 and AQP8 are primarily water selective (Table 1), whereas AQP3, AQP7, AQP9 and AQP10 (called ‘aquaglyceroporins’) also transport glycerol and possibly other small solutes in the case of AQP9 (reviewed by Agre et al., 2002; Yasui, 2004).”
