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
domain:Aquaporins contain two tandem repeats each containing three membrane-spanning domains and a pore-forming loop with the signature motif Asn-Pro-Ala (NPA).,function:Forms a water-specific channel. Implicated in the generation of saliva, tears, and pulmonary secretions.,similarity:Belongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) family.,
Other name
AQP5; Aquaporin-5; AQP-5

Cellular localization
Apical cell membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Cell membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Hypotonicity increases location at the cell membrane. Phosphorylation decreases location at the cell membrane. .
Tissue expression
Detected in skin eccrine sweat glands, at the apical cell membrane and at intercellular canaliculi (at protein level).
