Abstract
The recently discovered aquaporin family of water channel proteins is believed to be responsible for the high water permeabilities of erythrocytes and epithelial cells involved in fluid transport. It is not yet known which of the aquaporins are expressed in the cells responsible for fluid secretion in the major exocrine glands. The aims of this new project are to identify and characterise those aquaporins expressed in rat pancreas and evaluate their role in fluid secretion.
