BetaineHe matū ārai tēnei mō ngā rerekētanga o te pēhanga osmotic, ā, ka taea te mahi hei kaitiaki osmotic pūtau. Ka taea e ia te whakarei ake i te manawanui o ngā pūtau koiora ki te tauraki, te haumākū nui, te tote nui, me ngā taiao osmotic nui, te ārai i te ngaronga wai me te urunga tote o te pūtau, te whakapai ake i te mahi papu NaK o ngā kiriuhi pūtau, te whakaū i te mahi whākōkī me te mahi macromolecule koiora, te whakahaere i te pēhanga osmotic pūtau kiko me te taurite katote, te pupuri i te mahi mimiti matūkai, me te whakarei ake i ngā ika.
