Abstract
Information concerning aquaporin channels in ancient fish species such as agnathans has only just begun to appear 1,2 . Due to the low levels of amino acid homology of a recently identified aquaporin (previously called AQP1e) from hagfish ( Myxine glutinosa ), it was not possible to completely determine whether this gene represented an orthologue of a particular mammalian aquaporin isoform 1 . However, the recent introduction into the genebank of further sequence data, in particular that of the Pacific hagfish ( Eptatretus burgeri ) aquaporin 4 (AQP4; Gen Bank Acc. No. AB258403), has allowed further refinement of the analysis of the sequence data.
