This hypothesis was                            confirmed in 1991 and 1992 with the pioneering  discovery of the first molecular membrane water channel, CHIP28, by  Agre and coworkers. This integral membrane protein, which is abundant  in the erythrocyte membrane and in                            many epithelial cells, is now  called aquaporin-1 or AQP1. Thus the terms water channel or aquaporin  are synonymous.\u003cbr\u003e  In July 2000 more than 200 researchers came together in Gothenburg,  Sweden, for the `3rd                            International Conference on the Molecular Biology  and Physiology of Water and Solute Transport to discuss progress in  this emerging research field. 58 different presentations from this  conference are the basis for this                            book.
