Protein Summary
Forms a water-specific channel. Implicated in the generation of saliva, tears, and pulmonary secretions. Required for TRPV4 activation by hypotonicity (PubMed:16571723). Together with TRPV4, controls regulatory volume decrease in salivary epithelial cells (PubMed:16571723). 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]

- AND - satisfy two or more of the following criteria:
Pubmed score: 634.2 (req: < 5)
Gene RIFs: 138 (req: <= 3)
Antibodies: 290 (req: <= 50)
These targets do not have known drug or small molecule activities
- AND - satisfy two or more of the following criteria:
Pubmed score: 634.2 (req: >= 5)
