Energetic and molecular water permeation mechanisms of the human red blood cell urea transporter B.

Energetic and molecular water permeation mechanisms of the human red blood cell urea transporter B.

Urea transporter B (UT-B) is a passive membrane channel that facilitates highly efficient permeation of urea. In red blood cells (RBC), while the major function of UT-B is to transport urea, it is assumed that this protein is able to conduct water. Here, we have revisited this last issue by studying...
