Function
Aquaglyceroporins form homotetrameric transmembrane channels, with each monomer independently mediating glycerol and water transport across the plasma membrane along their osmotic gradient. Could also be permeable to urea. Mediates the efflux of glycerol, formed upon triglyceride hydrolysis, to avoid its accumulation in adipocytes and to make it available to other tissues.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Lipid droplet
Tissue Specificity: Detected in the sperm head (at protein level). Detected in white adipose tissue
