Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of integral membrane proteins which form pores in cell membranes and take part in the transport of water, contributing to the maintenance of water and electrolyte balance and are widely distributed in various tissues and organs. The high expression of AQPs has been described in the digestive system, where large-scale absorption and secretion of fluids occurs. AQPs are also present in the nervous system, but the majority of studies have involved the central nervous system. This paper is a review of the literature concerning relatively little-known issues, i.e. the distribution and functions of AQPs in nervous structures supplying the digestive organs.

供应消化器官的神经结构中的水通道蛋白-综述

水通道蛋白（AQP）是一类完整的膜蛋白，可在细胞膜上形成孔并参与水的运输，有助于维持水和电解质的平衡，并广泛分布在各种组织和器官中。已经在消化系统中描述了AQPs的高表达，其中发生了液体的大量吸收和分泌。AQPs也存在于神经系统中，但是大多数研究涉及中枢神经系统。本文是关于鲜为人知的问题的文献综述，即AQP在供应消化器官的神经结构中的分布和功能。
