  2. 1. Human Aquaporins: Production, Characterization and Interactions

    Author : Jennie Sjöhamn; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aquaporins; membrane protein; protein production; protein characterization; protein:protein interactions; structural biochemistry;

    Abstract : Membrane proteins are essential components of the cell and responsible for the communication with the outside environment and transport of molecules across the membrane. Water transport is facilitated by aquaporins, which are water selective transmembrane pores that serve to maintain cell homeostasis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Structural Details of Human Aquaporin Regulation : Three stories of three aquaporins

    Author : Veronika Nesverova; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aquaporin; membrane proteins; protein trafficking; water channel; aquaporin 0; aquaporin 5; aquaporin 2; cryo-EM; protein phosphorylation; protein-protein interaction; aquaporin regulation; aquaporins;

    Abstract : Every cell is surrounded by a thin plasma membrane, protecting it from its surrounding. Specialized protein channels and transporters are embedded in this membrane, ensuring selective transport of molecules in and out of the cells. To maintain optimal hydration, water channels called aquaporins (AQPs) are present in every cell of our body. READ MORE

  5. 3. Protein-Protein Interactions in Human Aquaporin Regulation

    Author : Jennifer Virginia Roche; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Membrane proteins; Human Aquaporins; water channels; Protein-protein interaction; Regulation; AQP2; AQP0; LIP5; CaM;

    Abstract : Water is an essential compoment of every living orgamism and forms a major part of the human body. Regulated water transport is crucial for proper cell functioning and body homeostasis. READ MORE

  6. 4. Production and Characterisation of Aquaporins and Proton-Translocating Transhydrogenase

    Author : Mikael Ekvall; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aquaporins; transhydrogenase; membrane proteins; x-ray chrystallography; structure; protein production; overproduction;

    Abstract : Dissertation Abstract Water transport in eukaryotic cells is a highly regulated and fine-tuned process. Water channel protein known as aquaporins (AQPs), constitute the main cellular water transport system, preserving water homeostasis by maintaining specific selectivity-mechanisms. READ MORE

  7. 5. Structural Studies of the Human Water Channel Protein Aquaporin 5

    Author : Anna Backmark; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aquaporin 5; aquaporins; X-ray crystallography; twinning; structure; trafficking;

    Abstract : Aquaporins are water channel proteins found in the membranes of all living cells. In humans, thirteen aquaporins have been identified to date. Many of them have been implicated in water imbalance disorders. Water transport through the aquaporins is regulated at several levels. READ MORE
