Summary: Predicted to enable channel activity; identical protein binding activity; and urea transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in glycerol transmembrane transport and water transport. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including renal water absorption; response to ischemia; and urea transport. Located in basolateral plasma membrane and cell-cell junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; capillary; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Orthologous to human AQP3 (aquaporin 3 (Gill blood group)). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

The expression levels of AQP3 and occludin were downregulated after septic intestinal injury, while treatment with glycerol, which acts as a substitute for AQP3, partly ameliorated intestinal injury and improved the survival rate. This preliminary experiment suggests that AQP3 may protect the intestinal tract against the effects of sepsis.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
