水通道蛋白作为水分子及其他小分子物质选择性通透的孔道,在哺乳动物的生殖系统广泛分布。研究发现,水通道蛋白参与哺乳动物生殖过程中的很多重要环节,如卵泡发育、囊胚形成、胚胎着床、羊水量的调节等。在囊胚形成及胚胎着床过程中,水通道蛋白的表达及分布发生一系列变化,表明水通道蛋白在该过程中发挥着重要的作用。 Aquaporins, as selectively permeable channels for water molecules and other small molecules, are widely distributed in the mammalian reproductive system. The study found that aquaporins are involved in many important aspects of mammalian reproductive process, such as follicular development, blastocyst formation, embryo implantation, amniotic fluid volume adjustment. During blastocyst formation and embryo implantation, a series of changes occur in the expression and distribution of aquaporins, indicating that aquaporins play an important role in this process.
