Structural and evolutionary divergence of aquaporins in parasites (Review).

Molecular medicine reports - 1 Jun 2017

Ni Zi-Xin, Cui Jian-Min, Zhang Nian-Zhang, Fu Bao-Quan

Abstract excerpt

Aquaporins are ubiquitous proteins that belong to the major intrinsic protein family. Previous studies have indicated that aquaporins are involved in multiple physiological processes in parasites, such as nutrient absorption and end product efflux, and thus, would be promising pharmacological agents in the fight against parasite infection. In the present paper, the authors analyzed the evolutionary relationship...
