UniProtKB accession:  Q41951

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Aquaporin required to facilitate the transport of water from the vacuolar compartment to the cytoplasm. Does not promote glycerol permeability. Its function is impaired by Hg(2+). Transports urea in yeast cells and Xenopus laevis oocytes in a pH-independent manner. Transports methylammonium or ammonium in yeast cells and Xenopus laevis oocytes, preferentially at high medium pH. May participate in vacuolar compartmentation and detoxification of ammonium.
