The flow of water and some other small molecules across cell membranes is important in
many of the processes underlying reproduction. The fluid movement is strongly associated …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of transmembrane channel proteins responsible for the
transport of water and small uncharged molecules. Thirteen distinct isoforms of AQPs have …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are transmembrane protein channels that allow the rapid passage of
water across an epithelium at a low energy requirement, though some also transport …

It has been proposed that four members of the aquaporin family (AQPs 1, 3, 8, and 9) are
involved in the control of amniotic fluid (AF) homeostasis, as illustrated by their differential …

Summary Aquaporin‐1 (AQP‐1), a six‐transmembrane domain protein, is found to be
responsible for water transport. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression …

Thirteen mammalian aquaporin (AQP) isoforms have been identified, and they have a
unique tissue-specific pattern of expression. AQPs have been documented in the …

Fluid movement across epithelia lining portions of the male reproductive tract is important for
modulating the luminal environment in which sperm mature and reside, and for increasing …

Twelve water channels (aquaporins) are expressed in mammalian reproductive systems,
and play very important roles in maintaining water homeostasis in reproductive cells …

The mammalian aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of 13 transmembrane channel proteins that
are involved in the transport of water in numerous organs. In the male excurrent duct, the …
