The human aquaporin-CHIP gene. Structure, organization, and chromosomal localization
1 Jul 1993
Abstract excerpt
Aquaporin-CHIP is the first known molecular water channel. Originally identified in red cells and renal tubules, transcripts and proteins related to AQP-CHIP are also expressed in diverse epithelia with distinct developmental patterns. Northern analyses of RNA from several tissues revealed transcripts of 3.1 kilobases and other sizes. The nucleotide sequences of human kidney AQP-CHIP cDNAs are identical to the...
