Aquaporins are a family of membrane proteins that selectively conduct water molecules in and out of the cell, while at the same time preventing the passage of ions and other solutes. They can be found in animal, bacteria, and plant cells. So far 13 Aquaporins have been discovered (AQP0-AQP12) some of the Aquaporins only transport water molecules, such as AQP1, AQP2, AQP4, AQP5 and AQP8. Aquaporins that transport water and other solutes are called aquaglyceroporins, these can transport glycerol,…
