Uncoupling of the Astrocyte Syncytium Differentially Affects AQP4 Isoforms

Uncoupling of the Astrocyte Syncytium Differentially Affects AQP4 Isoforms

The water channel protein aquaporin-4 (AQP4) and the gap junction forming proteins connexin-43 (Cx43) and connexin-30 (Cx30) are astrocytic proteins critically involved in brain water and ion homeostasis. While AQP4 is mainly involved in water flux across the astrocytic endfeet membranes, astrocytic...
