Aquaporins form a large, diverse family of proteins and have been found in bacteria, plants, and animals. Less than a decade ago, scientists discovered the aquaporin Z gene (aqpZ) in E. coli ...

Aquaporins are water channel proteins; they are located in the otherwise waterimpermeable cell membrane of many plants and animals. There they prevent bursting of the cells, ...

The altered protein successfully altered aquaporin levels—indicating that NGLY1 has a second function in addition to its sugar-removing (enzymatic) activities.

The protein, called aquaporin-4, is a channel protein that allows water to move in and out of cells. Skip to main content. Your source for the latest research news. Follow: ...

Expert Rev Proteomics. 2009;6(2):199-211. The Pfam server classifies AQP proteins as IMPs belonging to the larger family of MIPs, as discussed earlier. MIPs exhibit essentially two distinct types ...

Aquaporins, however, are hard to use in artificial filtration systems because the proteins are pretty fragile and hard to reproduce, says Zuzanna Siwy, a professor of physics and astronomy at UC ...

The aquaporin Z channel protein in E. coli can accommodate a flow of water at rates six times higher than GlpF (aquaglyceroporin glycerol facilitator, a channel protein that transports both ...
