Abstract excerpt
Mutations of aquaporin-2 (AQP2) vasopressin water channel cause nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). It has been suggested that impaired routing of AQP2 mutants to the plasma membrane causes the disease; however, no determinations have been made of mutation-induced alterations of AQP2 channel water permeability. To address this issue, a series of AQP2 mutants were expressed in yeast, and the osmotic water...
