Abstract excerpt
Vasopression-induced phosphorylation of serine 256 of the aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channel triggers translocation of the protein from cystolic reservoir vesicles to the apical membrane of collecting duct principal cells. Dileucine motifs are located in the sixth transmembrane domain (6TM) of AQP2 and are known as the signal sequence for internalization, sorting from the trans-Golgi network to endosomes/lysosomes,...
