| Gene Symbol | AQP5 |
| Gene Full Name | aquaporin 5 |
| Background | Aquaporin 5 (AQP5) is a water channel protein. Aquaporins are a family of small integral membrane proteins related to the major intrinsic protein (MIP or AQP0). Aquaporin 5 plays a role in the generation of saliva, tears and pulmonary secretions. AQP0, AQP2, AQP5, and AQP6 are closely related and all map to 12q13. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
| Function | Forms a water-specific channel. Implicated in the generation of saliva, tears, and pulmonary secretions. Required for TRPV4 activation by hypotonicity. Together with TRPV4, controls regulatory volume decrease in salivary epithelial cells. [UniProt] |
| Cellular Localization | Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. [UniProt] |
| Calculated MW | 28 kDa |
