水通道蛋白（Aquaporins，AQP）是一类重要的跨膜蛋白，能透过水、中性小分子溶质和气体等生物膜。水通道蛋白被认为是重要的转运介质，参与许多生理功能和病理过程，如跨上皮液体转运、细胞迁移、脑水肿、神经兴奋和肿瘤。本章将提供有关水通道蛋白转运特性的信息。
Aquaporins (AQPs) are a class of the integral membrane proteins, which are permeable to water, some small neutral solutes and certain gases across biological membranes. AQPs are considered as critical transport mediators that are involved in many physiological functions and pathological processes such as transepithelial fluid transport, cell migration, brain edema, neuro excitation and carcinoma. This chapter will provide information about the transport characteristics of AQPs.
