The Lineage-Specific Evolution of Aquaporin Gene Clusters Facilitated Tetrapod Terrestrial Adaptation
(Public Library of Science, 2014-11-26)
A major physiological barrier for aquatic organisms adapting to terrestrial life is dessication in the aerial environment. This barrier was nevertheless overcome by the Devonian ancestors of extant ...
The pH sensitivity of Aqp0 channels in tetraploid and diploid teleosts
(Wiley Open Access, 2015-02-09)
Water homeostasis and the structural integrity of the vertebrate lens is partially mediated by AQP0
channels. Emerging evidence indicates that external pH may be involved in channel gating. Here we ...
