Aquaporins are channel producing proteins which regulate the flow of water across the cell membrane. They are made of α-helix bundles. Aquaglyceroporin (GLpf) conducts water and polyalcohols. The images at the left and at the right correspond to one representative aquaporin structure, i.e. the crystal structure of human Aquaporin 4 (3gd8). The image shows the protein, 6 molecules of glycerol and one of beta-octylglucoside.
