Background:

PIPs proteins are aquaporins which selectively conduct water molecules in and out of the cell, while preventing the passage of ions and other solutes. PIPs are also known as water channels, aquaporins are integral membrane pore proteins. Some of them, known as aquaglyceroporins, also transport other small uncharged solutes, such as glycerol, CO2, ammonia and urea across the membrane, depending on the size of the pore.
