- Description
- aqp-7 encodes an aquaglyceroporin whose expression in Xenopus oocytes increases either water or glycerol permeability five- to seven-fold; AQP-7 has no function in mass RNAi assays, perhaps reflecting genetic redundancy with its several paralogs; AQP-7 is expressed in muscle punctae (perhaps focal adhesions).
