    Summary
    Enables monoatomic cation channel activity. Involved in cell-cell adhesion and mesoderm development. Located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including eo sensory organ accessory cell; epithelium; ganglia; imaginal disc; and tarsal segment. Orthologous to human AQP6 (aquaporin 6).
