Function

Forms a water channel that facilitates the transport of water across cell membranes, playing a crucial role in water homeostasis in various tissues (PubMed:1373524, PubMed:23219802). Could also be permeable to small solutes including hydrogen peroxide, glycerol and gases such as amonnia (NH3), nitric oxide (NO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) (PubMed:16682607, PubMed:17012249, PubMed:19273840, PubMed:33028705, PubMed:8584435). Recruited to the ankyrin-1 complex, a multiprotein complex of the erythrocyte membrane, it could be part of a CO2 metabolon, linking facilitated diffusion of CO2 across the membrane, anion exchange of Cl(-)/HCO3(-) and interconversion of dissolved CO2 and carbonic acid in the cytosol (PubMed:17012249, PubMed:35835865). In vitro, it shows non-selective gated cation channel activity and may be permeable to cations like K(+) and Na(+) in vivo (PubMed:36949749, PubMed:8703053).

Activity summary

Aquaporin 1 also known as Aquaporin-1 AQP-1 or AQP1 is a protein that functions as a water channel facilitating the transport of water across cell membranes. This protein plays an important role in maintaining water homeostasis within cells. Aquaporin 1 has a mass of approximately 28 kDa and is encoded by the AQP1 gene. It is expressed in various tissues and organs including the kidneys lungs and red blood cells indicating its importance in diverse physiological processes.

Biological function summary

Aquaporin 1 is not part of a complex but independently contributes to maintaining osmotic balance and fluid movement across epithelial and endothelial tissues. The protein's selective permeability for water without allowing ions or other solutes highlights its specificity in controlling water transport which is essential for maintaining cellular environment stability.

Pathways

The aquaporin protein is involved in key biological pathways such as the osmoregulatory pathway and the fluid secretion pathway. It maintains efficient water transport in processes like urine concentration in the kidneys and fluid regulation in the pulmonary system. Aquaporins in general are related to similar transport proteins like sodium channels which together play an important role in maintaining osmotic balance across various tissues.

Associated diseases and disorders

Aquaporin 1's dysfunction has been associated with conditions such as nephrogenic diabetes insipidus and pulmonary edema. These are linked to its role in water reabsorption in the kidneys and fluid balance in the lungs. The disorder's connection ties Aquaporin-1 with other regulatory proteins such as vasopressin receptors which work in conjunction to control renal water reabsorption and response to fluid imbalance.
