This study investigates aquaporin (Aqp) function and evolution in reef-building corals, finding that Aqp4L proteins are water-selective while Glp proteins transport both water and solutes, with some showing unexpected solute permeability.

This study identifies the evolutionary pattern of Aqp10 pseudogenization across Cetartiodactyla species and finds it occurred independently in multiple lineages.

This study identifies the molecular mechanism behind the reduced solute permeability in Aqp10.2 by analyzing ancestral sequences, structural models, and site-directed mutagenesis.
