| Gene Symbol | AQP4 |
| Entrez Gene ID | 703773 |
| Full Name | aquaporin 4 |
| Gene Type | protein-coding |
| Organism | Macaca mulatta(Rhesus monkey) |
| Summary | This gene encodes a member of the aquaporin family of intrinsic membrane proteins that function as water-selective channels in the plasma membranes of many cells. This protein is the predominant aquaporin found in brain and has an important role in brain water homeostasis. A recent study provided evidence for translational readthrough in this gene, and expression of an additional C-terminally extended isoform via the use of an alternative in-frame translation termination codon.
