Function

In oviduct, AQP1, AQP3, AQP6, and AQP9 were strongly expressed especially in ciliated columnar epithelial cells (Fig. 4). Immunoreactivities of AQP1, AQP3, AQP6, and AQP9 were localized mainly to cilia and luminal surface of epithelial cells with a subtle subtype-specific difference. (33110949).
