Human Gene AQP1 (ENST00000409899.5) from GENCODE V44
  Description: 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. (from UniProt P29972)
RefSeq Summary (NM_198098): This gene encodes a small integral membrane protein with six bilayer spanning domains that functions as a water channel protein. This protein permits passive transport of water along an osmotic gradient. This gene is a possible candidate for disorders involving imbalance in ocular fluid movement.

  ID: AQP1_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Aquaporin-1; Short=AQP-1; AltName: Full=Aquaporin-CHIP; AltName: Full=Urine water channel; AltName: Full=Water channel protein for red blood cells and kidney proximal tubule;
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.
SUBUNIT: Homotetramer. Interacts with EPHB2; involved in endolymph production in the inner ear (By similarity).
INTERACTION: Q99750:MDFI; NbExp=4; IntAct=EBI-745213, EBI-724076;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: 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.
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).
POLYMORPHISM: AQP1 is responsible for the Colton blood group system. Approximately 92% of Caucasians are Co(A+B-) (Ala-46), approximately 8% are Co(A+B+), and only 0.2% are Co(A-B+) (Val- 46). Co(A-B-) which is very rare, is due to a complete absence of AQP1.
MISCELLANEOUS: Pharmacologically inhibited by submillimolar concentrations of mercury.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) family.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
