Insights into the Function of Aquaporins in Gastrointestinal Fluid Absorption and Secretion in Health and Disease

Cells, 2023
Aquaporins (AQPs), transmembrane proteins permeable to water, are involved in gastrointestinal secretion. The secretory products of the glands are delivered either to some organ cavities for exocrine glands or to the bloodstream for endocrine glands. The
