Type: | Family | Name: | Invertebrate aquaporin-10 |
Description: | Aquaporin channels facilitate the transport of water, glycerol, and other small solutes across cell membranes. Eight canonical aquaporin-encoding genes (aqp) are present in the genome of Caenorhabditis elegans []. This entry represents a putative aquaporin-10 protein from C. elegans and other invertebrates. It is orthologous to human aqp-11 and aqp-12. | Short Name: | Invert_Aqp-10 |
