Significance of transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 and aquaporin 5 co-expression in the rat uterus at term

Aims: Aquaporins (AQPs) are channel proteins that facilitate the rapid passive movement of water. In our studies it was proved that the decreased AQP5 expression is followed by the increase of uterine contractility. The transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is a calcium channel, which is...
