* AQP2 is stored in vesicle membranes within the [[Collecting Duct - Anatomy & Physiology #Principal Cells| principal cells]] of the [[Collecting Duct - Anatomy & Physiology| collecting ducts]]
* AQP2 is stored in vesicle membranes within the [[Collecting Duct - Anatomy & Physiology #Principal Cells| principal cells]] of the [[Collecting Duct - Anatomy & Physiology| collecting ducts]]
* [[Useful definitions - Renal Anatomy & Physiology| ADH]] causes these vesicles to attach to the principal cell membranes.
* [[Endocrine System - Pituitary Gland - Anatomy & Physiology #Posterior Pituitary Gland| ADH]] causes these vesicles to attach to the principal cell membranes.
* This is how ADH works.
* This is how ADH works.
** The higher its concentration the more AQP2 avaiable to water within the collecting duct
