Expression of a probe for CLDN1 (Claudin 1) (<i>y</i>-axis) as a function of a probe for Aquaporin 3 (<i>x</i>-axis).

Other members of the aquaporin family of proteins have a similar behaviour. AQP3, together with CLDN1 are key components of the tight junction complexes of the epidermis and their joint loss of expression seem to be related to a transition to a more malignant phenotype. We use the same color coding as Figure 9.水通道蛋白（aquaporin）家族的其余蛋白成员均表现出相似的行为模式。AQP3与CLDN1共同构成表皮紧密连接（tight junction）复合物的关键组成部分，二者的联合表达缺失似乎与向更恶性表型的转化相关。本研究采用与图9一致的配色方案。
