Aquaporins (Aqps) are integral membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of water and
small solutes across cell membranes. Among vertebrate species, Aqps are highly conserved
in both gene structure and amino acid sequence. These proteins are vital for maintaining
water homeostasis in living organisms, especially for aquatic animals such as teleost
fish. Studies on teleost Aqps are mainly limited to several model species with diploid
genomes. Common carp, which has a tetraploidized genome, is one of the most common
aquaculture species being adapted to a wide range of aquatic environments. The complete
common carp genome has recently been released, providing us the possibility for gene evolution
of aqp gene family after whole genome duplication.
