Co-opted and canonical glycerol channels play a major role during anhydrobiosis of an extremophile crustacean

Abstract Background Extremophiles evolved capacities to survive extended exposure to harsh environmental conditions such as complete desiccation (anhydrobiosis) and freezing (cryobiosis). Accumulation of the three-carbon polyhydric alcohol glycerol is commonly observed in anhydrobiotic organisms, al...
