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

Product Specifications

Protein Biology

Function

Aquaglyceroporins form homotetrameric transmembrane channels, with each monomer independently mediating glycerol and water transport across the plasma membrane along their osmotic gradient (PubMed:11952783, PubMed:30420639, PubMed:30423801, PubMed:36737436, PubMed:9405233). Could also be permeable to urea (PubMed:9405233). Mediates the efflux of glycerol, formed upon triglyceride hydrolysis, to avoid its accumulation in adipocytes and to make it available to other tissues. In the kidney, mediates the reabsorption of glycerol, preventing its loss in urine, again participating to energy homeostasis. In pancreatic beta cells, it also mediates the efflux of glycerol, regulating its intracellular levels (By similarity)

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) (PubMed:28042826). Detected in white adipose tissue (PubMed:9405233)

Subunit

Homotetramer; each monomer provides an independent glycerol/water pore (PubMed:30423801, PubMed:32695023, PubMed:36737436). Two homotetramers on opposing membranes can dimerize, forming a cell-cell junction (PubMed:36737436). Interacts with PLIN1 (PubMed:27832861)

Gene: AQP7  |  Organism: Homo sapiens  |  Synonyms: Aquaglyceroporin-7; Aquaporin adipose; Aquaporin-7-like

How do I order or inquire about this product?

Fill out the Online Inquiry form with your required quantity and specifications. You can also email sales@biocrestsci.com. Our team typically responds within 4 business hours with a quote and availability confirmation.

What is the shipping and delivery time?

Orders placed before 2 PM EST ship the same day. Domestic (US) delivery typically takes 2-3 business days. International orders deliver within 5-10 business days. All products are shipped at ambient temperature with appropriate packaging to ensure stability.

How should I store this recombinant protein?

Lyophilized proteins should be stored at -20°C to -80°C upon receipt. After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Shelf life is 12 months from date of receipt when stored as recommended.

What quality controls are performed on your products?

Each product undergoes SDS-PAGE purity analysis (typically >85-95%), endotoxin testing, and bioactivity validation. Products are validated for ELISA, Western Blot, and SPR/BLI applications as specified on this product page. A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) is available upon request.
