1.A.8.8.29
Aquaporin/glycerol transporter of 294 aas and 6 TMSs.  Tandem duplication (TD) was the major mechanism of gene expansion in echinoderms and hemichordates, which, together with whole genome duplications (WGD) in the chordate lineage, continued to shape the genomic repertoires in craniates. Molecular phylogenies indicated that Aqp3-like and Aqp13-like channels were the probable stem subfamilies in craniates, with WGD generating Aqp9 and Aqp10 in gnathostomes but Aqp7 arising through TD in Osteichthyes (Yilmaz et al. 2020).
