Description : (at1g80760 : 285.0) Encodes a protein with boron transporter activity. It helps to preferentially direct boron to young developing tissues in the shoot, such as immature leaves, under low boron conditions. This boron channel appears to be impermeable to water, unlike the closely related NIP5;1 boron transporter. This protein also allows the transport of glycerol, urea, and formimide but not larger uncharged solutes such as arabitol and sucrose when it is expressed heterologously.; NOD26-like intrinsic protein 6;1 (NIP6;1); CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Major intrinsic protein, conserved site (InterPro:IPR022357), Major intrinsic protein (InterPro:IPR000425); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: NOD26-like intrinsic protein 5;1 (TAIR:AT4G10380.1); Has 10266 Blast hits to 10221 proteins in 2131 species: Archae - 103; Bacteria - 5136; Metazoa - 1354; Fungi - 440; Plants - 2031; Viruses - 2; Other Eukaryotes - 1200 (source: NCBI BLink). & (q6z2t3|lsi1_orysa : 196.0) Silicon transporter LSI1 (Low silicon protein 1) - Oryza sativa (Rice) & (reliability: 570.0) & (original description: no original description)
