WormMine: Gene WBGene00000170

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00000170
• Gene Name: aqp-2
• Sequence Name: C01G6.1
• Brief Description: aqp-2 encodes, by alternative splicing, two isoforms of an biochemically atypical aquaglyceroporin; when expressed in Xenopus oocytes, AQP-2 increases water permeability 5- to 11-fold, and urea permeability 4.5-fold, but has no effect on glycerol permeability; AQP-2::GFP fusion proteins are expressed predominantly in the excretory cell and more weakly in muscle, motor neurons, and hypodermis; AQP-2 expression is also enriched in dauer larvae; loss of AQP-2 activity via mutation or RNAi results in no obvious defects; however, AQP-2, in conjunction with AQP-3, AQP-4, and AQP-8, is weakly required for recovery from hypotonic stress.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Enables water channel activity. Involved in water transport. Predicted to be located in basolateral plasma membrane. Expressed in excretory cell; hypodermis; and muscle cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including brain edema; inflammatory bowel disease (multiple); and morbid obesity. Is an ortholog of several human genes including AQP3 (aquaporin 3 (Gill blood group)); AQP7 (aquaporin 7); and AQP9 (aquaporin 9).

6 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr4772
• Pattern: Expressed in excretory cell, muscle, hypodermis.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2009380
• Pattern: Single cell embryonic expression. Only cell types with an expression fraction of greater 0.2 of the maximum expressed fraction are labeled (Full data can be downloaded from http://caltech.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/datasets-published/packer2019/). The colors represent the broad cell class to which the cell type has been assigned. The size of the point is proportional to the log2 of the numbers of cells in the dataset of that cell type. Interactive visualizations are available as a web app (https://cello.shinyapps.io/celegans/) and can also be installed as an R package (https://github.com/qinzhu/VisCello.celegans).
