ERM proteins: from cellular architecture to cell signaling.

abstract：BACKGROUND INFORMATION:AQP10 (aquaporin 10) is a new member of water channels and two different transcripts have been reported. The difference between these transcripts is in the presence or the absence of an insertion of 475 nt, which leads to a translation frame shift resulting in a different termination of amino aci...
