Figure Lengend Snippet: Water ( a ), glycerol ( b ), urea ( c ), and boric acid ( d ) permeability measurements of TrAqps by Xenopus oocyte swelling assay. P water , P glycerol , P urea , and P boric acid values are presented as interquartile range from the 25–75 percentiles (box), range (whiskers), outliers (>1.5× interquartile range above upper quartile), mean (square in the box), and median (line in the box). Statistical significance was evaluated by one‐way ANOVA followed by Dunnett's test (* p < 0.05).
Article Snippet: To characterize TrAqp functions, we used the Xenopus oocyte expression system (Ushio et al., ) and first analyzed whether they transport water, glycerol, and urea, which are known substrates of the Aqp family.
