About Aqp8

Summary

Predicted to enable water channel activity. Acts upstream of or within water transport. Predicted to be located in intracellular canaliculus and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; diaphragm; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and spleen. Orthologous to human AQP8 (Aquaporin 8).
