Detection of IgG anti-Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) in serum of patients with Neuromyelitis optica syndrome disorders (NMOSD) has improved diagnosis of these processes and differentiation from Multiple sclerosis (MS). Recent findings also claim that a subgroup of patients with NMOSD, serum negative for IgG-anti-AQP4, present antibodies anti-AQP1 instead....

Aquaporin-4, present in ependymal cells, in glia limiting and abundantly in pericapillary astrocyte foot pro cesses, and aquaporin-1, expressed in choroid plexus epithelial cells, play an important role in cerebrospinal fluid production and may be involved in the pathophysiology of age-dependent hydrocephalus. The finding that brain aquaporins...
