Major intrinsic protein (MIP) superfamily. Members of the MIP superfamily function as membrane channels that selectively transport water, small neutral molecules, and ions out of and between cells. The channel proteins share a common fold: the N-terminal cytosolic portion followed by six transmembrane helices, which might have arisen through gene duplication. On the basis of sequence similarity and functional characteristics, the superfamily can be subdivided into two major groups: water-selective channels called aquaporins (AQPs) and glycerol uptake facilitators (GlpFs). AQPs are found in all three kingdoms of life, while GlpFs have been characterized only within microorganisms.

Major intrinsic protein; MIP (Major Intrinsic Protein) family proteins exhibit essentially two distinct types of channel properties: (1) specific water transport by the aquaporins, and (2) small neutral solutes transport, such as glycerol by the glycerol facilitators.

MIP family channel proteins; 1.A.8 The Major Intrinsic Protein (MIP) FamilyThe MIP family is large and diverse, possessing over 100 members that all form transmembrane channels. These channel proteins function in water, smallcarbohydrate (e.g., glycerol), urea, NH3, CO2 and possibly ion transport by an energy independent mechanism. They are found ubiquitously in bacteria, archaeaand eukaryotes. The MIP family contains two major groups of channels: aquaporins and glycerol facilitators.The known aquaporins cluster loosely together as do the known glycerol facilitators. MIP family proteins are believed to form aqueous pores that selectively allow passive transport of their solute(s) across the membrane with minimal apparent recognition. Aquaporins selectively transport water (but not glycerol) while glycerol facilitators selectively transport glycerol but not water. Some aquaporins can transport NH3 and CO2. Glycerol facilitators function as solute nonspecific channels, and may transport glycerol, dihydroxyacetone, propanediol, urea and other small neutral molecules in physiologically importantprocesses. Some members of the family, including the yeast FPS protein (TC #1.A.8.5.1) and tobacco NtTIPA may transport both water and small solutes. [Transport and binding proteins, Unknown substrate]

Click on the triangle to view details about the feature, including a multiple sequence alignment
of your query sequence and the protein sequences used to curate the domain model,
where hash marks (#) above the aligned sequences show the location of the conserved feature residues.

This image shows a graphical summary of conserved domains identified on the query sequence.
The Show Concise/Full Display button at the top of the page can be used to select the desired level of detail: only top scoring hits
(labeled illustration) or all hits

Domains are color coded according to superfamilies
to which they have been assigned. Hits with scores that pass a domain-specific threshold
(specific hits) are drawn in bright colors.
Others (non-specific hits) and
superfamily placeholders are drawn in pastel colors.
if a domain or superfamily has been annotated with functional sites (conserved features),
they are mapped to the query sequence and indicated through sets of triangles
with the same color and shade of the domain or superfamily that provides the annotation. Mouse over the colored bars or triangles to see descriptions of the domains and features.
click on the bars or triangles to view your query sequence embedded in a multiple sequence alignment of the proteins used to develop the corresponding domain model.
The table lists conserved domains identified on the query sequence. Click on the plus sign (+) on the left to display full descriptions, alignments, and scores.

(labeled illustration) Four types of hits can be shown, as available,
for each region on the query sequence:
specific hits meet or exceed a domain-specific e-value threshold
(illustrated example)
and represent a very high confidence that the query sequence belongs to the same protein family as the sequences use to create the domain model
non-specific hits
meet or exceed the RPS-BLAST threshold for statistical significance (default E-value cutoff of 0.01, or an E-value selected by user via the
advanced search options)
