Background
Aquaporin 8 (AQP8) is a water channel protein. Aquaporins are a family of small integral membrane proteins related to the major intrinsic protein (MIP or AQP0). Aquaporin 8 mRNA is found in pancreas and colon but not other tissues. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
domain:Aquaporins contain two tandem repeats each containing three membrane-spanning domains and a pore-forming loop with the signature motif Asn-Pro-Ala (NPA).,function:Forms a water-specific channel; mercury-sensitive. Not permeable to glycerol or urea.,similarity:Belongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) family.,tissue specificity:Expressed only in pancreas and colon.,
