AQP1 Is Not Only a Water Channel: It Contributes to Cell Migration through Lin7/Beta-Catenin

AQP1 belongs to aquaporins family, water-specific, membrane-channel proteins expressed in diverse tissues. Recent papers showed that during angiogenesis, AQP1 is expressed preferentially by microvessels, favoring angiogenesis via the increase of permeability In particular, in AQP1 null mice, endothe...
