TLDR
The results suggest that, contrary to the hypothesis, the endogenous production of ADH by water deprivation stimulates qAQP2 mRNA in both loopless and looped nephrons, in both cortical and medullary collecting ducts.About:

Evolution and functional diversity of aquaporins.
Roderick Nigel Finn,Joan Cerdà +1 more
TL;DR: This review provides new insight into the origin by horizontal gene transfer of plant glycerol-transporting aquaporins (NIPs), and the functional co-option and gene replacement of insect Glycerol transporters.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Lineage-Specific Evolution of Aquaporin Gene Clusters Facilitated Tetrapod Terrestrial Adaptation
TL;DR: It is shown that an ancient aquaporin gene cluster evolved specifically in the sarcopterygian lineage, and subsequently diverged into paralogous forms of AQP2, -5, or -6 to mediate water conservation in extant Tetrapoda.

Aquaporin‐2 regulation in health and disease
M. Judith Radin,Ming-Jiun Yu,Ming-Jiun Yu,Lene Stoedkilde,Lene Stoedkilde,R. Lance Miller,Jason D. Hoffert,Jørgen Frøkiær,Trairak Pisitkun,Mark A. Knepper +9 more
TL;DR: Progress is reviewed in this area and elements of vasopressin signaling in the collecting duct that may impinge on regulation of AQP2 in health and in the context of examples of polyuric diseases are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Renal responses to salinity change in snakes with and without salt glands.
TL;DR: Interestingly, very few differences across species are found in the structure and function of the kidney in three species of snake, suggesting that the snake kidney may play a trivial role in limiting habitat use.

Expression and immunolocalization of aquaporins HC-1, -2, and -3 in Cope's gray treefrog, Hyla chrysoscelis.
Ram Naresh Pandey,Ram Naresh Pandey,Sushmita Yaganti,Stephanie Coffey,James Frisbie,Khadijeh S. Alnajjar,David L. Goldstein +6 more
TL;DR: The objective of the present study was to investigate by Western blotting and immunohistofluorescence the expression and localization of these proteins in warm-acclimated, hydrated treefrogs, and hypothesized that patterns of protein expression would reflect unique osmoregulatory roles for the three aquaporins.

Single-step method of RNA isolation by acid guanidinium thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform extraction
TL;DR: A new method of total RNA isolation by a single extraction with an acid guanidinium thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform mixture is described, providing a pure preparation of undegraded RNA in high yield and can be completed within 4 h.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloning and expression of apical membrane water channel of rat kidney collecting tubule
TL;DR: The functional expression and the limited localization of WCH-CD to the apical region of the kidney collecting tubule suggest that W CH-CD is the vasopressin-regulated water channel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and function of aquaporin water channels
Alan S. Verkman,Alok K. Mitra +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence for possible movement of ions and carbon dioxide through the aquaporins is reviewed here, as well as evidence for direct regulation of aquaporin function by posttranslational modification such as phosphorylation.

Expression and distribution of aquaporin of collecting duct are regulated by vasopressin V2 receptor in rat kidney.

TL;DR: Changes in the localization and protein amount of AQP-CD by dehydration and V2R antagonist were quantitatively confirmed by immunogold studies and immunoblot analysis of the inner medulla.

Regulation of aquaporin-2 water channel trafficking by vasopressin
Mark A. Knepper,Takeaki Inoue +1 more
TL;DR: The vesicle-targeting proteins synaptobrevin-2 and syntaxin-4 are proposed to play roles in this process of vasopressin regulates water excretion from the kidney by increasing the osmotic water permeability of the renal collecting duct.
