Background: AQP9 is permeable to water and urea. Unlike AQP3 and AQP7, it did not facilitate glycerol transport. AQP families of proteins are predicted to contain six transmembrane domains. The N and C-terminus are predicted to be cytoplasmic. A new member of the AQP family, AQP9, has been cloned from human leukocytes. It is homologous with AQP3 and AQP7 (54-48% identity). AQP9 (295aa) is primarily expressed in peripheral leukocytes, and in lesser amounts in liver, lung and spleen. AQP9 is permeable to water and urea. Unlike AQP3 and AQP7, it does not facilitate glycerol transport. AQP families of proteins are predicted to contain six transmembrane domains. The N and C-terminus are predicted to be cytoplasmic.
