Gene ID: 358, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CO; CHIP28; AQP-CHIP

Summary

This gene encodes a small integral membrane protein with six bilayer spanning domains that functions as a water channel protein. This protein permits passive transport of water along an osmotic gradient. This gene is a possible candidate for disorders involving imbalance in ocular fluid movement.
