Description

Exhibits water transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in transmembrane transport. Predicted to localize to basolateral plasma membrane and integral component of membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Meniere's disease; blindness; neuromyelitis optica; optic neuritis; and temporal lobe epilepsy. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; eye; gill; integument; and pleuroperitoneal region. Orthologous to human AQP4 (aquaporin 4).
