Original Source: Aquaporins in clinical medicine.
The aquaporins are a family of membrane water channels, some of which also transport glycerol. They are involved in a wide range of physiological functions (including water/salt homeostasis, exocrine fluid secretion, and epidermal hydration) and human diseases (including glaucoma, cancer, epilepsy, and obesity). At the cellular level, aquaporin-mediated osmotic water transport across cell plasma membranes facilitates transepithelial fluid transport, cell migration, and neuroexcitation; aquaporin-mediated gl...

Aquaglyceroporins serve as metabolic gateways in adiposity and insulin resistance control.
Aquaglyceroporins (AQP3, AQP7, AQP9 and AQP10) encompass a subfamily of aquaporins that allow the movement of water and other small solutes, especially glycerol, through cell membranes. Adipose tissue...
Glycerol uptake by erythrocytes from warm- and cold-acclimated Cope's gray treefrogs.
Cope's gray treefrogs, Hyla chrysoscelis, accumulate glycerol during the period of cold acclimation that leads to the development of freeze tolerance. Glycerol must cross cell membranes in numerous pr...
A glycerol dialkanol triol, similar in structure to glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers but devoid of the carbon atoms of one of the two glycerol termini, has been identified in Messinian sedim...
