水通道蛋白与年龄相关性白内障关系的研究进展

Research progress in the relationship between aquaporins and age-related cataract

摘要:

水通道蛋白(AQPs)结构的研究进一步加深了人们对于这种小分子膜蛋白对水和溶质转运的认识。迄今,在晶状体中有两种AQPs表达被报道,即AQP0和AQP1。我们主要就AQPs在晶状体的分布、功能及与白内障形成的可能关系进行讨论。

Abstract:

Aquaporins(AQPs) structural studies have further deepened the awareness of people about this small molecule membrane protein on water and solute transport.To date,two AQPs expression in the lens have been reported,that is AQP0,AQP1.This article focuses on the discussion of AQPs distribution in the lens,its function and possible relationship with cataract formation.
