Abstract excerpt
Aquaporins mediate transport of water or small, uncharged solutes across cellular membranes according to the prevailing osmotic and chemical gradients. Because of their implication in human diseases and pathophysiological states, aquaporins are considered as potential drug targets. Yet, specific aquaporin inhibitors for in vivo studies are not available. Common functional aquaporin assays that monitor biophysical...
