Structural and functional divergence of two fish aquaporin-1 water channels following teleost-specific gene duplication
BACKGROUND: Teleost radiation in the oceans required specific physiological adaptations in eggs and early embryos to survive in the hyper-osmotic seawater. Investigating the evolution of aquaporins (AQPs) in these vertebrates should help to elucidate how mechanisms for water homeostasis evolved. The...
