Aquaporin membrane protein F006 / 9503
Aquaporin membrane protein, molecular model. Aquaporins are membrane proteins that form channels (lower right) that help water molecules pass in and out of cells. Unlike ion channels, aquaporins help prevent ions and other dissolved substances carrying electrical charge from entering the cell, as they only allow lone water molecules or certain uncharged solutes to pass through. This helps maintain the electrochemical potential of the cell membrane

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Aquaporin membrane protein F006 / 9503. The aquaporins, depicted as channels in the lower right corner, play a vital role in facilitating the movement of water molecules into and out of cells. Unlike ion channels, these remarkable membrane proteins selectively allow only individual water molecules or specific uncharged solutes to pass through while preventing ions and other charged substances from entering the cell. The molecular model presented here highlights how aquaporins contribute to maintaining the electrochemical potential of cell membranes. By regulating the passage of water and certain solutes, they ensure that electrical charges carried by dissolved substances do not disrupt cellular processes. This essential function helps maintain homoeostasis within living organisms. With its white background and impeccable illustration, this artwork serves as a valuable tool for researchers and medical professionals alike. It provides insights into proteomics, biochemistry, and molecular biology while shedding light on integral membrane proteins involved in water transport. LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has masterfully captured this scientific marvel with precision and detail. This print is an exceptional addition to any collection dedicated to biology research or medical advancements. Its visual representation invites viewers into the fascinating world of biochemical intricacies at a microscopic level – where life's fundamental processes unfold before our eyes.
