REGULATION OF AQUAPORIN-1 ION CHANNEL FUNCTION BY INTRACELLULAR SIGNALING PATHWAYS

My dissertation work has focused on identifying regulatory mechanisms that govern Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP)-activation of Aquaprorin-1 (Aqp1) ion channels. Aquaporins serve as pores for water thus allowing enhanced water permeability in biological membranes (Preston, et al., 1992). A s...
