Mip - major intrinsic protein of lens fiber Gene

Also Known as Aqp0

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 25480

Summary

Enables water channel activity. Involved in canalicular bile acid transport and water transport. Located in intracellular canaliculus and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract and cataract 15 multiple types. Orthologous to human MIP (major intrinsic protein of lens fiber).
