The ubiquitous cell membrane proteins called aquaporins are now firmly established as
channel proteins that control the specific transport of water molecules across cell …

Aquaporin belongs to a highly conserved group of membrane proteins called major intrinsic
proteins that facilitate water transport across biological membranes. The genome of …

Aquaporins are ubiquitous membrane channel proteins that facilitate and regulate the
permeation of water across biological membranes. Aquaporins are members of the MIP …

Aquaporins are pore-forming transmembrane proteins that facilitate the movement of water
and many other small neutral solutes across the cells and intracellular compartments. Plants …

Aquaporins facilitate water transport over cellular membranes, and are therefore believed to
play an important role in water homeostasis. In higher plants aquaporin‐like proteins, also …

In plants, membrane channels of the major intrinsic protein (MIP) super-family exhibit a high
diversity with, for instance, 35 homologues in the model species Arabidopsis thaliana. As …

Aquaporins, proteins that enhance the permeability of biological membranes to water, are
widely distributed in living organisms. They are 26-to 29-kD proteins that belong to the major …

Aquaporins are water channel proteins belonging to the major intrinsic protein (MIP)
superfamily of membrane proteins. More than 150 MIPs have been identified in organisms …

Aquaporins, major intrinsic proteins (MIPs) present in the plasma and intracellular
membranes, facilitate the transport of small neutral molecules across cell membranes in …

Background Aquaporins, also called major intrinsic proteins (MIPs), constitute an ancient
superfamily of channel proteins that facilitate the transport of water and small solutes across …
