MGPD IDMGP000188
Gene ID366
SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene Nameaquaporin 9
Gene Symbol AQP9
SynonymsSSC1; AQP-9; HsT17287;
Alternate namesaquaporin-9; aquaglyceroporin-9; small solute channel 1;
Chromosome15
Map Location15q
SummaryThe aquaporins are a family of water-selective membrane channels. The protein encoded by this gene allows passage of a wide variety of noncharged solutes. It stimulates urea transport and osmotic water permeability; there are contradicting reports about its role in providing glycerol permeability. The encoded protein may also play a role in specialized leukocyte functions such as immunological response and bactericidal activity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
