Description

Aquaporins (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, 1398), 2nd Edition

By Baoxue Yang

This book provides a state-of-the-art report on our current understanding of aquaporins and the future direction of the field.

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a group of water-channel proteins that are specifically permeable to water and other small molecules, such as glycerol and urea. To date, thirteen water-channel proteins (AQP0 – AQP12) have been cloned, and the mechanisms and physiological functions of water transport across biological membranes have long been the subject of interest. Recent advances in the molecular biology and physiology of water transport have yielded new insights into how and why water moves across cell membranes.

One of the interesting findings from the studies on aquaporin knockout mouse models is that aquaporins are involved in the development of some diseases and they may be useful targets of research into selective-inhibitor drugs. These discoveries have opened up new avenues for therapeutic interventions and potential treatment options for various diseases.

Author Baoxue Yang, an esteemed expert in the field, takes us on a journey inside the world of aquaporins. With detailed explanations and analyses, Yang delves into the biophysics, genetics, protein structure, molecular biology, physiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacology of aquaporins in mammalian cell membranes. By focusing on the advances made over the last 30 years, this book provides novel insights into the mechanisms and physiological significance of water and small molecule transport in mammals.

In order to keep the knowledge up to date, the second edition of this book includes not only updated chapters based on the most recent research articles but also ten new chapters. These additions cover the latest discoveries and advancements in the field of aquaporin research. The inclusion of new information ensures that readers are at the forefront of this rapidly evolving area of science.
