Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) passively transports water across the plasma membrane according to the osmotic gradient. In the kidney AQP1 is expressed in endothelial cells of the vasa recta, the proximal tubule, and thin descending limb of Henle, where it functions to recover water from filtrate during urine formation. AQP1 is expressed in many other tissues, such as red blood cells, pancreas, and choroid plexus. AQP1 plays a role in forming cerebrospinal fluid.
