How can you use “aquaporins” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The discovery of a family of genes encoding these protein channels, now known as aquaporins (AQPs), had been anticipated in principle by the earlier studies because water permeability, at least in some tissues and cells, has characteristics that cannot be explained if the lipid membrane is the sole barrier to water exchange (for reviews see [ 5, 6, 7, 8]).
The straightforward view that most aquaporins in plants are there to regulate water flow, and a subset may facilitate the movement of glycerol or other small molecules, is the most widespread general interpretation of the physiological and functional assays outlined at the start of this article.
Aquaporins belong to a group of often abundant membrane proteins of molecular mass 26-35 kDa.
In addition, glycerol, urea, ammonia, other uncharged small metabolites, and possibly carbon dioxide and ions, seem to traverse membranes containing these 'aquaporins' [ 6, 8, 31, 32, 33, 34].
