UniProt Comments
Function: Water channel required to facilitate the transport of water across cell membrane; mercury-insensitive.Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Tissue specificity: Widely expressed, except in seeds.Induction: By dehydration (Ref.1). Not affected by water stress (Ref.6).Domain: Aquaporins contain two tandem repeats each containing three membrane-spanning domains and a pore-forming loop with the signature motif Asn-Pro-Ala (NPA).Sequence similarities: Belongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) family. PIP (TC 1.A.8.11) subfamily.
