Classically, aquaporins are divided based on pore selectivity into water specific, orthodox aquaporins and solute-facilitating aquaglyceroporins, which conduct e.g. glycerol and urea. However, more aquaporin-passing substrates have been identified over the years, such as the gases ammonia and carbon...
