Differential localization and regulation of two aquaporin-1 homologs in the intestinal epithelia of the marine teleostSparus aurata
3 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Aquaporin (AQP)-mediated intestinal water absorption may play a major osmoregulatory role in euryhaline teleosts, although the molecular identity and anatomical distribution of AQPs in the fish gastrointestinal tract is poorly known. Here, we have investigated the functional properties and cellular localization in the intestine of two gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) homologs of mammalian aquaporin-1 (AQP1),...
