1. Plant aquaporins
Abstract : Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins that specifically transports water. In plants, aquaporins have been identified in the plasma membrane and in the vacuolar membrane. READ MORE

2. Human Aquaporins: Production, Characterization and Interactions
Abstract : Membrane proteins are essential components of the cell and responsible for the communication with the outside environment and transport of molecules across the membrane. Water transport is facilitated by aquaporins, which are water selective transmembrane pores that serve to maintain cell homeostasis. READ MORE

3. Exploring Unorthodox Aquaporins : Characterization of NbXIPs & AtNIPs
Abstract : AbstractAquaporins are membrane integral proteins that facilitate the transport of waterand/or other small neutral molecules across biological membranes in cells in allforms of life. Among the subfamilies of aquaporins in higher plants, the X IntrinsicProteins (XIPs) are the most recently discovered subfamily and the leastcharacterized. READ MORE

4. Production and Characterisation of Aquaporins and Proton-Translocating Transhydrogenase
Abstract : Dissertation Abstract Water transport in eukaryotic cells is a highly regulated and fine-tuned process. Water channel protein known as aquaporins (AQPs), constitute the main cellular water transport system, preserving water homeostasis by maintaining specific selectivity-mechanisms. READ MORE

5. Water transport regulation: Biochemical and structural analyses of eukaryotic aquaporins
Abstract : Water is essential for all living beings. Aquaporins are water channel proteins embedded in the membranes of cells. These macromolecules are found in all kingdoms of life and they control water homeostasis by diverse regulation mechanisms. READ MORE
