Evolution and functional diversity of aquaporins.

The Biological bulletin - 1 Aug 2015

Finn Roderick Nigel, Cerdà Joan

Abstract excerpt

In this review, we provide a brief synopsis of the evolution and functional diversity of the aquaporin gene superfamily in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Based upon the latest data, we discuss the expanding list of molecules shown to permeate the central pore of aquaporins, and the unexpected diversity of water channel genes in Archaea and Bacteria. We further provide new insight into the origin by...
