Gene Symbol:

AQP5 Homo sapiens

Full name:

aquaporin 5

Synonyms:

AQP-5, PPKB, aquaporin-5

Genomic Location:

Chr 12: 48641546-48645227

Description:

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.
