Function
Mediates the transport of urea driven by a concentration gradient across the cell membrane of erythrocytes. Also mediates the transport of urea across the cell membrane of the renal inner medullary collecting duct which is critical to the urinary concentrating mechanism. Facilitates water transport in erythrocytes.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Basolateral cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Detected in erythrocytes (at protein level). Expressed in spleen erythroblasts and tumoral kidney
