Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Forms a channel with a broad specificity. Mediates passage of a wide variety of non-charged solutes including carbamides, polyols, purines, and pyrimidines in a phloretin- and mercury-sensitive manner, whereas amino acids, cyclic sugars, Na(+), K(+), Cl(-), and deprotonated monocarboxylates are excluded. Also permeable to urea and glycerol. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10564231}.

Subcellular Localization

Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in peripheral leukocytes. Also expressed in liver, lung, and spleen.
