Enables water channel activity. Involved in metanephric collecting duct development. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to water deprivation and renal water transport. Located in several cellular components, including apical plasma membrane; lumenal side of membrane; and recycling endosome. Is expressed in inner ear; metanephros; vestibulo-cochlear ganglion; and vestibulocochlear nerve cochlear component. Used to study nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nephrogenic diabetes insipidus and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus type 2. Orthologous to human AQP2 (aquaporin 2).
