Potassium dependent regulation of astrocyte water permeability is mediated by cAMP signaling.
Astrocytes express potassium and water channels to support dynamic regulation of potassium homeostasis. Potassium kinetics can be modulated by aquaporin-4 (AQP4), the essential water channel for astrocyte water permeability regulation. We investigated whether extracellular potassium ([K(+)](o)) can...
