    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    text
  • localized on the apical compartment of the intestinal epithelium called the glycocalyx
  • located in the apical membrane of enterocytes and is believed to contribute to the passage of water and glycerol through these intestinal absorptive cells
  • basic FUNCTION
  • aquaglyceroporins, that transport glycerol
  • and small solutes in addition to water
  • may be contribute to water transport in the upper portion of small intestine
  • involvement of a carrier-mediated mechanism in glycerol transport by AQP10
  • uniquely dual functional characteristic of AQP10 as a carrier/channel for solute transport
  • transmembrane facilitator of both water and glycerol transport in the small intestine
