AQP1 is a member of aquaporins (AQPs) that are small membrane-spanning proteins facilitating water transport. AQP1 is expressed in most tissues in the mammalian body. Alterations of AQP1 expression have been linked to variety of diseases, including cancer. The predicted molecular weight of AQP1 is around 28 kDa, while highly glycosylated form can also be observed around 40-45 kDa.

Description
Forms a water-specific channel that provides the plasma membranes of red cells and kidney proximal tubules with high permeability to water, thereby permitting water to move in the direction of an osmotic gradient.
