|
| Function |
Forms a water-specific channel that provides the plasma membranes of red cells and kidney proximal tubules with high permeability to water, thereby permitting water to move in the direction of an osmotic gradient. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1373524}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23219802}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23219802}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Detected in erythrocytes (at protein level). Expressed in a number of tissues including erythrocytes, renal tubules, retinal pigment epithelium, heart, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. Weakly expressed in brain, placenta and liver. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23219802}.
