Functional characterization of water transport and cellular localization of three aquaporin paralogs in the salmonid intestine.

Intestinal water absorption is greatly enhanced in salmonids upon acclimation from freshwater (FW) to seawater (SW); however, the molecular mechanism for water transport is unknown. We conducted a pharmacological characterization of water absorption in the rainbow trout intestine along with an inves...
