Molecular Mechanisms and Drug Development in Aquaporin Water Channel Diseases: The Translocation of Aquaporin-5 From Lipid Rafts to the Apical Plasma Membranes of Parotid Glands of Normal Rats and the Impairment of It in Diabetic or Aged Rats
Salivary secretion from rat salivary glands occurs in response to stimulation by acetylcholine and norepinephrine released from nerve endings. Aquaporin-5 (AQP5) localizes in lipid rafts under control conditions and is induced to traffic to the apical plasma membrane in interlobular ducts of rat par...
