    Summary
    Enables urea transmembrane transporter activity and water transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within establishment of localization in cell; urea transport; and water transport. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; musculature; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SLC14A1 (solute carrier family 14 member 1 (Kidd blood group)). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    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.
