Descriptor acuaporina 5
Scope note: Proteína de los canales específicos del agua que se expresa principalmente en el EPITELIO alveolar, traqueal y bronquial superior. Desempeña un papel importante en el mantenimiento de la HOMEOSTASIS del agua en los PULMONES y puede regular también la liberación de SALIVA y LÁGRIMAS en las GLÁNDULAS SALIVALES y en la GLÁNDULA LACRIMAL.

Scope note: Aquaporin 5 is a water-specific channel protein that is expressed primarily in alveolar, tracheal, and upper bronchial EPITHELIUM. It plays an important role in maintaining water HOMEOSTASIS in the LUNGS and may also regulate release of SALIVA and TEARS in the SALIVARY GLANDS and the LACRIMAL GLAND.
