NCBI Protein Information
gamma tonoplast intrinsic protein
NCBI Summary
Encodes a tonoplast intrinsic protein, which functions as water channel. It has also been shown to be able to facilitate the transport of urea and hydrogen peroxide. Highly expressed in vascular tissues of the root, stem, cauline leaves and flowers but not in the apical meristems.

UniProt Comments
Water channel required to facilitate the transport of water, diffusion of amino acids and/or peptides from the vacuolar compartment to the cytoplasm. Does not promote glycerol permeability. May play a role in the control of cell turgor and cell expansion. Its function is impaired by Hg2+. May be involved in a vesicle-based metabolite routing through or between pre-vacuolar compartments and the central vacuole. Transports urea in yeast cells in a pH-independent manner. Transports H2O2 in yeast cells.
