NCIt definition : Human AQP1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 7p14.3 and is approximately
14 kb in length. This allele, which encodes aquaporin-1 protein, is involved in water
homeostasis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene are associated with Colton
blood group polymorphism and a missense mutation is associated with the Colton-null
(aquaporin 1-null) phenotype.;
