Within the brain parenchyma, it was shown that aquaporin 4 (AQP4) expression by astrocytes plays an important role in the modulation of paravascular CSF macromolecule influx and efflux (through the glymphatic route) PubMed:30046111

Deletion of Aqp4 in transgenic mice with Alzheimer’s disease also resulted in increased amyloid-β plaque burden and exacerbated cognitive impairment PubMed:30046111
