Function 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12133842}.
Subcellular Location Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12133842}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12133842}.
Tissue Specificity Detected in erythrocytes (at protein level). Erythrocytes and renal tubules. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12133842}.
Top Pathways Proximal tubule bicarbonate reclamation, Bile secretion
