AQP 5 | − | − | − | − |
AQP 7 | ++ | − | +/− | − |
AQP 9 | − | ++ | − | − |
AQP 11 | + | +/−− | +/−− | +/−− |
AQP, aquaporin. ++, all cells show intense reaction; +, all cells show moderate reaction; +/−−, more cells are unreactive than reactive; +/−, some cells are reactive, others are not; −, unreactive.
