Mitochondrial aquaporin-8-mediated hydrogen peroxide transport is essential for teleost spermatozoon motility

Chauvigné, François; Boj, Mónica; Finn, Roderick Nigel; Cerdà, Joan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-01-14)

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), cause oxidative cell damage and inhibit sperm function. In most oviparous fishes that spawn in seawater (SW), spermatozoa may be exposed to harmful ROS ...
The zebrafish genome encodes the largest vertebrate repertoire of functional aquaporins with dual paralogy and substrate specificities similar to mammals

Tingaud-Sequeira, Angèle; Calusinska, Magdalena; Finn, Roderick Nigel; Chauvigné, François; Lozano, Juanjo; Cerdà, Joan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-02-11)

Background: Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of water and small solutes across cell membranes. These proteins are vital for maintaining water homeostasis in living organisms. In ...
