  • Description: <jats:p>The temperature‐sensitive <jats:italic>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</jats:italic> mutant strain NY17, deficient in the secretory pathway (<jats:italic>sec6‐4</jats:italic> mutation), is used for the heterologous expression of the human CHIP28 water channel. After a heat‐shock, the protein is present in partially purified post‐golgi secretory vesicles. Immunodetection and water transport studies, directly made on the vesicles, showed that CHIP28 is highly expressed and active in the yeast membranes.</jats:p>
