The aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of 13 small hydrophobic integral transmembrane water
channel proteins involved in transcellular and transepithelial water movement and fluid …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are transmembrane channel proteins that mainly facilitate the water
translocation through the plasma cell membrane. For several years these proteins have …

Water can diffuse freely through the lipid bilayer at a limited rate or by water channel
proteins in a rapid speed. Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of membrane water channel …

The aquaporins (AQPs) are small integral membrane proteins that transport water and in
some cases small solutes such as glycerol. Physiological roles of the ten or more …

Our understanding of the movement of water through cell membranes has been greatly
advanced by the discovery of a family of water-specific, membrane-channel proteins: the …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of membrane water channels that basically function as
regulators of intracellular and intercellular water flow. To date, thirteen AQPs, which are …

Aquaporins are small integral membrane proteins that selectively transport water and some
small solutes in mammals, plants and lower organisms. Continued studies of the aquaporins …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of small hydrophobic, integral membrane proteins that are
expressed in all living organisms and play critical roles in controlling the water flow into and …

Aquaporins (AQPs) form pores in the membranes of cells and selectively conduct water
molecules through the membrane, while preventing the passage of ions such as sodium and …

Background Emerging evidence supports the view that (AQP) aquaporin water channels are
regulators of transcellular water flow. Consistent with their expression in most tissues, AQPs …
