1 To find out if RD28 is a water channel protein, rd28 cRNA was injected into Xenopus laevis oocytes. Water Aquaporin-like superfamily protein Arabidopsis thaliana
2 Expression of RD28 caused a 10- to 15-fold increase in the osmotic water permeability of the oocytes, indicating that the protein creates water channels in the plasma membrane of the oocytes and is an aquaporin just like its homology gamma-TIP. Water Aquaporin-like superfamily protein Arabidopsis thaliana
3 Expression of RD28 caused a 10- to 15-fold increase in the osmotic water permeability of the oocytes, indicating that the protein creates water channels in the plasma membrane of the oocytes and is an aquaporin just like its homology gamma-TIP. Water Aquaporin-like superfamily protein Arabidopsis thaliana
4 Although RD28 has several cysteine residues, its activity is not inhibited by mercury, and in this respect it differs from gamma-TIP and all but one of the mammalian water channels that have been described. Water Aquaporin-like superfamily protein Arabidopsis thaliana
