(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID361
Official gene symbolAQP4
Full nameaquaporin 4
Aliases,HMIWC2,MGC22454,MIWC,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the aquaporin family of intrinsic membrane proteins that function as water-selective channels in the plasma membranes of many cells. The encoded protein is the predominant aquaporin found in brain. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
