Research Abstract |
This study revealed the importance of endoplasmic reticulum(ER) stress reaction induced by the accumulation of unfold proteins in the ER for the development of polycystic kidneys in AQP11 null mice by comprehensive gene and protein expression surveys of the kidney. Other than the kidney, AQP11 plays some roles in the liver, testis, thymus and brain. It is noteworthy that AQP11 is expressed at the endothelium of cerebral capillaries seemingly for the adaptation of osmotic stresses in the brain.
