UniProt Comments
Function: Water channel required to facilitate the transport of water across cell membrane. Its function is impaired by Hg2+.Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Tissue specificity: Widely expressed. Expressed in roots, above ground and in flower buds.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.
