A synthesized peptide derived from human AQP2, corresponding to a region within C-terminal amino acids.
The basic job of aquaporin 2 is to reabsorb water from the urine while its being removed from the blood by the kidney. Aquaporin 2 is in kidney epithelial cells and usually lies dormant in intracellular vesicle membranes, but when it is needed vasopressin binds to the cell surface vasopressin receptor, activating a signaling pathway that causes the aquaporin 2 containing vesicles to fuse with the plasma membrane so the aquaporin 2 can be used by the cell.

A synthesized peptide derived from human AQP3, corresponding to a region within the internal amino acids.
This gene encodes the water channel protein aquaporin 3. Aquaporins are a family of small integral membrane proteins related to the major intrinsic protein, also known as aquaporin 0. Aquaporin 3 is localized at the basal lateral membranes of collecting duct cells in the kidney. In addition to its water channel function, aquaporin 3 has been found to facilitate the transport of nonionic small solutes such as urea and glycerol, but to a smaller degree. It has been suggested that water channels can be functionally heterogeneous and possess water and solute permeation mechanisms.
