Control of cell migration: a tumour suppressor function for p53?

abstract：BACKGROUND INFORMATION:The results of water permeability measurements suggest the presence of an AQP (aquaporin) in the membrane of the CV (contractile vacuole) in Amoeba proteus [Nishihara, Shimmen and Sonobe (2004) Cell Struct. Funct. 29, 85-90]. RESULTS:In the present study, we cloned an AQP gene from A. proteus [A...
