Scientific Background

Aquaporin-7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AQP7 gene.The human AQP7 gene is composed of six exons distributing over 6.5 kb. The exon-intron boundaries are identical to those of the human AQP3 gene. The intron sizes are also similar. Moreover, chromosomal localization of AQP7 was assigned to 9p13 by fluorescent in situ hybridization, where AQP3 is also localized, suggesting that 9p13 may be another site of an aquaporin cluster. AQP7 acts as a glycerol facilitator in cardiomyocytes and that glycerol is a substrate for cardiac energy production. AQP7 is down-regulated in women with severe obesity. The expression of this glycerol channel is not affected by type 2 diabetes.
