About Mip

Summary

Enables water channel activity. A structural constituent of eye lens. Acts upstream of or within lens development in camera-type eye; visual perception; and water transport. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; femur; and main olfactory bulb. Used to study cataract 15 multiple types. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract and cataract 15 multiple types. Orthologous to human MIP (major intrinsic protein of lens fiber).
