Divalent Cations Regulate the Ion Conductance Properties of Diverse Classes of Aquaporins

Divalent Cations Regulate the Ion Conductance Properties of Diverse Classes of Aquaporins

Aquaporins (AQPs) are known to facilitate water and solute fluxes across barrier membranes. An increasing number of AQPs are being found to serve as ion channels. Ion and water permeability of selected plant and animal AQPs (plant Arabidopsis thaliana AtPIP2;1, AtPIP2;2, AtPIP2;7, human Homo sapiens...
