Molecular Mechanisms and Drug Development in Aquaporin Water Channel Diseases: Aquaporin Superfamily (Superaquaporins): Expansion of Aquaporins Restricted to Multicellular Organisms
Eleven aquaporins are identified in mammals. They all have highly conserved two asparagine-proline-alanine (NPA) boxes that are important for the formation of the water permeating pore. Recently we identified two new proteins in mammals distantly related to aquaporins (AQPs) with poorly conserved NP...
