Record overview

MGPD IDMGP000187
Gene ID364
SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene Nameaquaporin 7
Gene Symbol AQP7
SynonymsAQP9; AQP7L; AQPap; GLYCQTL;
Alternate namesaquaporin-7; AQP-7; aquaporin adipose; aquaglyceroporin-7;
Chromosome9
Map Location9p13
SummaryAquaporins/major intrinsic protein (MIP) are a family of water-selective membrane channels. Aquaporin 7 has greater sequence similarity with AQP3 and AQP9 and they may be a subfamily. Aquaporin 7 and AQP3 are at the same chromosomal location suggesting that 9p13 may be a site of an aquaporin cluster. Aquaporin 7 facilitates water, glycerol and urea transport. It may play an important role in sperm function. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
