What's a GeneRIF?

AQP6 channel is functionally expressed in parotid acinar cells and contributes to secretion of anions in these cells.
Title: Electrophysiological properties of AQP6 in mouse parotid acinar cells.
Data show that in the inner ear aquaporin-6 is expressed, in both vestibular and acoustic sensory epithelia, by the supporting cells directly contacting hair cells.
Title: Aquaporin-6 expression in the cochlear sensory epithelium is downregulated by salicylates.
Functional analyses of water and ion permeation revealed that mAQP6a functions like rat AQP6 and that mAQP6b does not function as either a water channel or an ion channel under our experimental conditions
Title: Molecular cloning and characterization of mouse aquaporin 6.

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.
