Molecular characterization of aquaporin 1 and aquaporin 3 from the gills of the African lungfish, Protopterus annectens, and changes in their branchial mRNA expression levels and protein abundance during three phases of aestivation
African lungfishes can undergo long periods of aestivation on land during drought. During aestivation, lungfishes are confronted with desiccation and dehydration, and their gills become non-functional and covered with a thick layer of dried mucus. Aquaporins (Aqps) are a superfamily of integral memb...
