sas

Drosophila melanogaster

stranded at second (sas) encodes a single-pass transmembrane protein that localizes to the apical cell surface in polarized epithelia, such as the embryonic/larval salivary gland (SG). Overexpression of sas in the developing SG leads to all membrane domains taking on apical membrane character, with the exception of the region where septate junctions form.

aqp-3

Caenorhabditis elegans

Enables water channel activity. Involved in glycerol transmembrane transport and water transport. Predicted to be located in basolateral plasma membrane. Expressed in excretory cell; intestine; and vas deferens. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including brain edema; inflammatory bowel disease (multiple); and morbid obesity. Is an ortholog of several human genes including AQP3 (aquaporin 3 (Gill blood group)); AQP7 (aquaporin 7); and AQP9 (aquaporin 9).
