Primary Identifier | MGI:1891066 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 64008 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables hydrogen peroxide channel activity and urea channel activity. Involved in detoxification of arsenic-containing substance. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in early conceptus; female reproductive system; inner ear; and liver. Orthologous to human AQP9 (aquaporin 9). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele have increased glycerol and triglyceride levels, increased resistance to glycerol-induced lysis, decreased glycerol permeability, and decreased susceptibility to the early stages of parasitic infection.
