Aquaporin 4 is a ubiquitously expressed isoform in the dogfish (Squalus acanthias) shark.
The dogfish orthologue of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) was amplified from cDNA using degenerate PCR followed by cloning and sequencing. The complete coding region was then obtained using 5’ and 3’ RACE techniques. Alignment of the sequence with AQP4 amino acid sequences from other species showed that dogfish...
