aqp-7 encodes an aquaglyceroporin whose expression in Xenopus oocytes increases either water or glycerol permeability five- to seven-fold; AQP-7 has no function in mass RNAi assays, perhaps reflecting genetic redundancy with its several paralogs; AQP-7 is expressed in muscle punctae (perhaps focal adhesions).
Enables water channel activity. Involved in glycerol transmembrane transport and water transport. Predicted to be located in basolateral plasma membrane. Expressed in muscle cell.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
