Transcriptional Regulation of AQP-8, a Caenorhabditis elegans Aquaporin Exclusively Expressed in the Excretory System, by the POU Homeobox Transcription Factor CEH-6 [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2007
Due to the ever changing environmental conditions in soil, regulation of osmotic homeostasis in the soil-dwelling nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is critical. AQP-8 is a C. elegans aquaporin that is expressed in the excretory cell, a renal equivalent tissue, where the protein participates in maintaining water balance.
