Gene names: AQP1 , CHIP28
Protein names and data: AQP1_HUMAN , Aquaporin-1; AQP-1 , Aquaporin-CHIP; Urine water channel; Water channel protein for red blood cells and kidney proximal tubule Lenght: 269 a.a.
Mass: 28526 Da
fasta formatted sequence
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.
Cellular location: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in a number of tissues including erythrocytes, renal tubules, retinal pigment epithelium, heart, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. Weakly expressed in brain, placenta and liver.

Genetic variants

AQP1 is responsible for the Colton blood group system. Approximately 92% of Caucasians are Co(A+B-) (Ala-46), approximately 8% are Co(A+B+), and only 0.2% are Co(A-B+) (Val- 46). Co(A-B-) which is very rare, is due to a complete absence of AQP1.
