Current knowledge of akwaporynach invertebrates with particular emphasis on insect aquaporins

Aquaporins ( AQP ) are among the most common cell membrane integral proteins present in all living organisms. Not built by the presence of water channels in the plasma membrane phospholipid bilayer greatly increases its permeability to water molecules and in some cases also for other small chemical compounds. All presently identified aquaporins are characterized by the same structure , which is typical for the presence of six transmembrane domains and two conserved motifs in the linings cf.
