Functional analysis of the aquaporin gene family in Caenorhabditis elegans.

American journal of physiology. Cell physiology - 1 May 2007

Huang Chunyi George, Lamitina Todd, Agre Peter, Strange Kevin

Abstract excerpt

Aquaporin channels facilitate the transport of water, glycerol, and other small solutes across cell membranes. The physiological roles of many aquaporins remain unclear. To better understand aquaporin function, we characterized the aquaporin gene family in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Eight canonical aquaporin-encoding genes (aqp) are present in the worm genome. Expression of aqp-2, aqp-3, aqp-4, aqp-6,...
