abstract：:Muller glial cells of the sensory retina mediate K+ and water fluxes that are facilitated by aquaporin-4 (AQP4) water channels and by Kir4.1-K+ channels. However, it is not known which subtypes of aquaporins are expressed in the mammalian retina. Using RT-PCR, we found that both human and rat retinas express mRNA for ...
