FUNCTIONChannel that permits osmotically driven movement of water in both directions. It is involved in the osmoregulation and in the maintenance of cell turgor during volume expansion in rapidly growing cells. It mediates rapid entry or exit of water in response to abrupt changes in osmolarity.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=H2O(in) = H2O(out); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:29667, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377; PhysiologicalDirection=left-to-right; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:29668; PhysiologicalDirection=right-to-left; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:29669;
SUBUNITHomotetramer.
case not defined <Property:Membrane> or <Property:Membrane=1>
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONCell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
else case <Property:Membrane=2>
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONCell inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
end case
case <FT:1> and <FT:2>
DOMAINAquaporins contain two tandem repeats each containing three membrane-spanning domains and a pore-forming loop with the signature motif Asn-Pro-Ala (NPA).
end case
SIMILARITYBelongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) family.
