Description | Water channel proteins, known as Aquaporins, are transmembrane proteins that mediate osmotic waterpermeability. AQPs are a family of homologous water channels widely distributed in pla.nts, unicellularorganisms, invertebrates, and vertebrates. Aquaporins are selective water/glycerol channels involved inthe maintenance of volume homeostasis and ionic/osmotic balance. These water channels also enhancecellular tolerance against rapid freezing, which suggest that they might have some ecological relevance.Early work of Nobel Prize winner Peter Agre first cloned a 269 amino acid Aquaporin protein from redblood cell and kidney libraries that has six transmembrane domains (1). The amino terminal end of theprotein was in the membrane and has |
