Aquaporin-1 (AQP1), the osmotic water channel, is located in choroidal plexus, which facilitates the cerebrospinal fluid formation in central nervous system (CNS). AQP1 has been speculated to maintain the homeostasis of intracellular and extracellular water in the brain, while the intractable epilepsy (IE) may be related to the imbalance in water and ion homeostasis.
