Aquaporin water channels and water transport in vascular smooth muscle cells
The classical physiological enigma of how water crosses biological membranes has recently been solved by the discovery of aquaporins, a large family of homologous membrane proteins which function as highly selective water channels. So far six mammalian aquaporins have been characterised but homologo...
