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

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)
