Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables water channel activity. Involved in several processes, including intracellular oxygen homeostasis; intracellular water homeostasis; and negative regulation of ERAD pathway. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on protein glycosylation. Acts upstream of or within endosomal lumen acidification; kidney development; and water transport. Located in endoplasmic reticulum; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; immune system; and submandibular gland primordium. Orthologous to human AQP11 (aquaporin 11).
