Aquaporin expression in human lymphocytes and dendritic cells
17 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
Aquaporins (AQPs) are molecular water channels, and 10 related AQPs have been identified in mammals. So far, the study of mammalian AQP expression has been limited mainly to mice and rat lung, kidney, brain, and gastrointestinal tract. Although AQP3 and AQP7 have been shown to be involved in volume-regulating mechanisms in dendritic cells, the exact patterns of AQP expression in the human immune system are not...
