Summary
Enables urea transmembrane transporter activity and water transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within urea transport and water transport. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; musculature; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SLC14A1 (solute carrier family 14 member 1 (Kidd blood group)). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
