    5. mRNA of aquaporin 1 was co-expressed in Xenopus oocytes with homomeric or heteromeric Slick and Slack alpha-subunits. Hypotonic or hypertonic buffers caused changes in current. The heteromeric channel had a characteristic graded sensitivity to small and fast changes in cell volume.

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
