Disorders of water are caused by impaired regulation of water reabsorption in the collecting duct. Shown is a schematic of a principal cell in the collecting duct (CD), with relevance to water transport. Note the expression of AVPR2 on the basolateral side. Activation of this receptor results in insertion of AQP2 into the apical membrane.
