Product name:Human AQP-3 ELISA
Description:
AQP3 (GLIP, Glycerol-transporting integral protein; 285aa; 31.4kD) has a wide tissue distribution. AQP3 may function as a water and urea exit mechanism in antidiuresis in collecting duct cells. It is also slightly permeable to urea and glycerol. AQP3 may play an important role in gastrointestinal tract water transport and in glycerol metabolism. In the kidney it is predominantly expressed in the inner medulla. AQP families of proteins are predicted to contain six transmembrane domains. The N and C-terminus are predicted to be cytoplasmic.
