MeSH definition : Aquaporin 2 is a water-specific channel protein that is expressed in KIDNEY COLLECTING
DUCTS. The translocation of aquaporin 2 to the apical PLASMA MEMBRANE is regulated
by VASOPRESSIN, and MUTATIONS in AQP2 have been implicated in a variety of kidney
disorders including DIABETES INSIPIDUS.;
