Aquaporin 9 has greater sequence similarity with AQP3 and AQP7 and they may be a subfamily.
Aquaporin 9 allows passage of a wide variety of noncharged solutes.
AQP9 stimulates urea transport and osmotic water permeability; there are contradicting reports about its role in providing glycerol permeability.
Aquaporin 9 may also have some role in specialized leukocyte functions such as immunological response and bactericidal activity
The predicted 295aa AQP9 protein contains the 6 transmembrane membrane regions and intracellular N- and C-termini characteristic of aquaporins.
AQP9 shares greater sequence identity with AQP3 and AQP7 than with other members of the family, suggesting that these 3 proteins belong to a subfamily.
