Abstract excerpt
Understanding filopodial formation in motile cells is a pertinent task in cell biology. In the present study we show that expression of the human water channel aquaporin-9 (AQP9) in different cell lines induces the formation of numerous filopodial extensions. Several lines of evidence support the role of aquaporins functioning both as a water channel and signaling participant. The number of filopodia is decreased...
