Aquaporin mRNA in Human Saliva

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Aquaporins (AQPs) are integral membrane proteins that facilitate water transport across biological membranes. While their role is well-characterized in various tissues, their function in the oral cavity remains poorly understood. Saliva is an easily accessible, non-invasive biofluid that contains stable extracellular RNA and can reflect both systemic and local physiological or pathological processes,...
