Water channel proteins (later called aquaporins) and relatives: Past, present, and future

22 Jan 2009

Abstract excerpt

Water channels or water channel proteins (WCPs) are transmembrane proteins that have a specific three-dimensional structure with a pore that can be permeated by water molecules. WCPs are large families (over 450 members) that are present in all kingdoms of life. The first WCP was discovered in the human red blood cell (RBC) membrane in 1980s. In 1990s other WCPs were discovered in plants, microorganisms, various...
