Aquaporin TIP2-1 (Delta-tonoplast intrinsic protein) (Delta-TIP) (Tonoplast intrinsic protein 2-1) (AtTIP2;1) (Daniels et al. 1996). Transports water and ammonia, and can be activated by mercury (Kirscht et al. 2016). The 3-d structure is known to 1.2Å resolution (Kirscht et al. 2016). It may participate in vacuolar compartmentation and detoxification of ammonium.
