A new member of the aquaporin (AQP) family has been identified from rat testis. This gene,
referred as aquaporin 7 (AQP7), encodes a 269-amino acid protein that contained the …

A new member of water channels has been identified from rat testis. This gene, termed
aquaporin 8 (AQP8), encoded a 263-amino-acid protein that contained the conserved NPA …

An aquaporin-type water channel was isolated from mouse based on homology to known
aquaporins. A 1447 bp cDNA was sequenced (designated AQP8) with a 783 bp open …

The cDNA and the gene of human aquaporin8 (AQP8) were cloned from human testis cDNA
and a genomic library, respectively. The AQP8 cDNA encodes 261 amino acids. The identity …

Water transport in highly water-permeable membranes is conducted by water-selective
pores--namely, water channels. The recent cloning of water channels revealed the water …

Spermatogenesis and sperm maturation and storage are accompanied by significant
movements of water, and multiple aquaporin transmembrane water channels (AQPs) have …

Recently, a new member of aquaporins was reported as AQP10 [Biochem. Biophys. Res.
Commun. 287 (2001) 814], which is incompletely spliced to lose the sixth transmembrane …

A new member (AQP9) of the aquaporin family was identified from human leukocytes by
homology cloning using PCR. A full length clone was obtained by screening human liver …

Aquaporin-3 (AQP3) is a water channel found in the basolateral cell membrane of principal
cells of the renal collecting tubule as well as in other epithelia. To examine the selectivity of …

A new water channel (aquaporin-8, gene symbol AQP8) was isolated from rat pancreas and
liver by homology cloning. Ribonuclease protection assay showed intense expression of the …
