Function

Forms a water-specific channel that provides the plasma membranes of renal collecting duct with high permeability to water, thereby permitting water to move in the direction of an osmotic gradient. Plays an essential role in renal water homeostasis. Could also be permeable to glycerol.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Apical cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Basolateral cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Detected in kidney, in cortical and the medullary collecting tubules (at protein level). Detected in kidney medulla and cortex
