    text
  • at the apical and basolateral membrane of intercalated duct cells of pancreas
  • at the skeletal myofiber plasma membrane (Jimi 2007)
  • highly expressed in tissues with rapid O(2) transport
  • localized to the cytoplasm and cell membrane of some medium and small-sized trigeminal neuron
  • basic FUNCTION
  • involved in transcellular endothelial fluid transport
  • playing a role in cell migration and vessel formation
  • may have a role during osmotic stresses including ischemia/reperfusion and cardiopulmonary by pass
  • ‘‘orthodox’’aquaporin, that transport only water molecules (Sorani 2008)
  • represents an important distinguishing characteristic of olfactory ensheathing glia, which may impart unique function to these glia
  • play pivotal roles in cerebral water movement as essential mediators during edema and fluid accumulation
  • in inner ear plays an important role in the development of motion sickness (MS)
  • critical participate in regulating endothelial permeability and barrier function, providing direct evidence of the contribution of AQP1 to blood vessel formation
  • involvement of AQP1 in oral sensory transduction
  • constitutively open channel that closes mediated by membrane-tension increments
  • plays a crucial role in estrogen-induced tubulogenesis of vascular endothelial cells
  • cooperative role of AQP1 and SLC4A11 in mediating trans-endothelial water reabsorption
  • controls potentially both proliferation and migration in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell (PASMC) and the mechanism requires the C-terminal tail of the protein but is independent of water transport or the EF-hand motif
  • endothelial expression of AQP1 characterizes the atheroprotected, non-inflamed vessel wall

    REGULATION
    activated by in response to hypertonicity
    induced by Estrogen (induces AQP1 expression by activating ERE in the promoter of the AQP1 gene, resulting in tubulogenesis of vascular endothelial cells)
    Other its activity as a cGMP-gated cation channel is regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation in the C-terminal domain
