Plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs), as members of the aquaporin (AQPs) family, can transport not only water but also urea, CO2, H2O2, metal ions, and trace elements. They are crucial for maintaining water balance, substance transport, and responding to various stresses. This article delves into the structure, function, response mechanism, molecular mechanism, and regulatory mechanism of PIPs as a result of biological and abiotic stresses. It also summarizes current research trends surrounding PIPs and highlights potential research directions for further exploration. The aim is to assist researchers in related fields in gaining a more comprehensive understanding and precise insight into the advancements in PIP research.
