UniProt Comments
Function: Water channel required to facilitate the transport of water across cell membrane. May be involved in the osmoregulation in plants under high osmotic stress such as under a high salt condition.Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Tissue specificity: Highly expressed in flowers, expressed at low levels in siliques, and at low level in leaves and roots.Induction: By NaCl and abscisic acid (ABA) treatments.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.
