Mechanism of CO <sub>2</sub> and NH <sub>3</sub> Transport through Human Aquaporin 1: Evidence for Parallel CO <sub>2</sub> Pathways
2025-03-03
Abstract excerpt
The traditional view had been that dissolved gases cross membranes simply by dissolving in and diffusing through membrane lipid. However, some membranes are impermeable to CO 2 and NH 3 , whereas some aquaporin (AQP) water channels—tetramers with hydrophobic central pores—are permeable to CO 2 , NH 3 , or both. Nevertheless, we understand neither the routes that CO 2 and NH 3 take through AQP tetramers, nor...
