Figure 7

Functional characterization of zebrafish aquaporins. Osmotic water permeability (Pf; left), and glycerol and urea uptake (right), of Xenopus laevis oocytes expressing zebrafish aquaporins. The Pf was assayed in the presence or absence of HgCl2 and β-mercaptoethanol (ME). Values (mean ± SEM; n = 8-10 oocytes) with an asterisk are significantly (p < 0.01) different from water-injected oocytes in a representative experiment.
