MeSH definition : Aquaporin 1 forms a water-specific channel that is constitutively expressed at the
PLASMA MEMBRANE of ERYTHROCYTES and KIDNEY TUBULES, PROXIMAL. It provides these cells
with a high permeability to WATER. In humans polymorphisms of this protein result
in the Colton blood group antigen.;
MeSH synonym : aqp chip protein; aquaporin 1 protein; aquaporin-chip; channel forming integral membrane protein of 28 kda; chip28 protein; aquaporin chip; aqp1 protein; channel-forming integral membrane protein of 28 kda; aqp-chip protein;
Registry Number MeSH : 146410-94-8;
