In addition to aquaporin (AQP) classes AQP1, AQP4 and AQP9 known to be expressed in mammalian brain, our recent transcriptomic analyses identified AQP0 and AQP11 in human cortex and hippocampus at levels correlated with age and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) status; however, protein localization remained unknown. The gene discussed is AQP9; the disease is Alzheimer disease.
