Aquaporin‐3 gene and protein expression in sun‐protected human skin decreases with skin ageing
7 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Aquaporin 3 (AQP3) is a protein implicated in skin hydration. AQP3 null mice have relatively dry skin, reduced skin elasticity, and delayed recovery of barrier function after removal of the stratum corneum which is also present in skin of old people. A feature of skin aging is the change in both water content and barrier function of the skin. We investigated the expression of aquaporin 3 in...
