Molecular Mechanisms and Drug Development in Aquaporin Water Channel Diseases: Molecular Mechanism of Water Channel Aquaporin-2 Trafficking

Targeted positioning of water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2) strictly regulates body water homeostasis. Trafficking of AQP2 to the apical membrane is critical for the reabsorption of water in renal collecting ducts. Besides the cAMP-mediated effect of vasopressin on AQP2 trafficking to the apical membra...
