- Description
- Exhibits water transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in lens fiber cell morphogenesis. Predicted to localize to integral component of membrane and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract and cataract 15 multiple types. Is expressed in eye; lens; lens fiber cell; and solid lens vesicle. Orthologous to human MIP (major intrinsic protein of lens fiber).
