Aquaporin Water Channels in the Mammary Gland: From Physiology to Pathophysiology and Neoplasia
12 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
Aquaporins are membrane proteins that play fundamental roles in water and small solute transport across epithelial and endothelial barriers. Recent studies suggest that several aquaporin proteins are present in the mammary gland. Immunohistochemical techniques have confirmed the presence of aquaporin 1 (AQP1) and AQP3 water channels in rat, mouse, bovine and human mammary glands. Studies suggest that in addition...
