Methods to Measure Water Permeability.This book provides a state-of-the-art report on our current understanding of aquaporins and the future direction of the field. Aquaporins (AQPs) are a group of water-channel proteins that are specifically permeable to water and other small molecules, such as glycerol and urea. To date thirteen water-channel proteins (AQP0 – AQP12) have been cloned and the mechanisms and physiological functions of water transport across biological membranes have long been the subject of interest. Recent advances in the molecular biology and physiology of water transport have yielded new insights into how and why water moves across cell membranes, and studies on aquaporin knockout mouse models suggest that aquaporins are involved in the development of some diseases and they may be useful targets of research into selective-inhibitor drugs. By focusing on the advances made over the last 30 years in the biophysics, genetics, protein structure, molecular biology, physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology of aquaporins in mammalian cell membranes, this book provides novel insights into further mechanisms and the physiological significance of water and some small molecule transport in mammals in order to stimulate further research in new directions. In the second version, fourteen chapters will be updated base on the most recent research articles. Ten new chapters will be added.Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology,2214-8019 ;1398PharmacologyProteinsHuman physiologyBiological transportCell membranesPharmacologyProtein BiochemistryHuman PhysiologyMembrane TraffickingPharmacology.Proteins.Human physiology.Biological transport.Cell membranes.Pharmacology.Protein Biochemistry.Human Physiology.Membrane Trafficking.572.696Yang BaoxueMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910647393303321Aquaporins3010128UNINA
