The evolution of protein-coding genes is usually driven by selective processes, which favor
some evolutionary trajectories over others, optimizing the subsequent protein stability and …

Mudskippers are amphibious species inhabiting semi-terrestrial ecosystems like mudflats,
mangroves, marshy swamps, intertidal regions, and estuaries. Around 34 diversified species …

Mudskippers are important for ecotoxicological studies of coastal wetlands. They are
recognized as a potential bio-indicator in estuarine water biomonitoring programs due to …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are essential membrane proteins facilitating water and small solute
transport across cell membranes. Mammals have approximately 13 paralogs of AQPs that …

One of the most important physiological challenges animals had to overcome during
terrestrialization (ie, the transition from sea to land) was water loss, which alters their osmotic …

Simple Summary The role of aquaporins (AQPs) in the adaptation of amphibious fishes to
terrestrial environments was investigated using genome mining, phylogenetics, molecular …

Water flux across cells predominantly occurs through the pore formed by the aquaporin
channels. Since water balance is one of the most important challenges to terrestrial animals …

Molecular adaptation of mudskippers to land living is undoubtedly a complex multifactorial
phenomenon, and the skin is one of the most influential factors. This study explores the …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are integral membrane proteins responsible for water transport across
cellular membranes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. A subfamily of AQPs, known as …

One of the most important physiological challenges animals had to overcome during
terrestrialization (ie, the transition from sea to land) is water loss, which alters their osmotic …
