Description
We are excited to introduce our off-the-shelf, full-length, active, and native Aquaporin-5, commonly known as AQP5. AQP5 is an homotetrameric transmembrane channels, with each monomer independently mediating water transport across the plasma membrane along its osmotic gradient.
Our AQP5 protein has been solubilized and stabilized using our NativeMP™ platform, ensuring it retains its native structure and full biological activity, making it ideal for various research applications.
Applications:
- Screening/Validation
- Biologics Development
- Structure Determination
- Small Molecule Drug Development
The protein delivered can be used for these specific applications. When ordering, please indicate which applications you intend to use the protein for in the contact form to ensure the best results.
For more details, explore our solubilization database.

| Function | Aquaporins form homotetrameric transmembrane channels, with each monomer independently mediating water transport across the plasma membrane along its osmotic gradient. Plays an important role in fluid secretion in salivary glands (By similarity). Required for TRPV4 activation by hypotonicity. Together with TRPV4, controls regulatory volume decrease in salivary epithelial cells.Seems to play a redundant role in water transport in the eye, lung and in sweat glands (By similarity). |
