Gene: AQP1

Alternate names for this Gene: AQP-CHIP|CHIP28|CO

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a small integral membrane protein with six bilayer spanning domains that functions as a water channel protein. This protein permits passive transport of water along an osmotic gradient. This gene is a possible candidate for disorders involving imbalance in ocular fluid movement.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7p14.3

Description of this Gene: aquaporin 1 (Colton blood group)

Type of Gene: protein-coding
