AQP5 rabbit polyclonal, anti-human, mouse, rat

Backgroud: 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],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.,
