Anti-Aquaporin 5 Antibody

Western blot analysis of Aquaporin 5 expression in SIHCa (A), SHSY5Y (B), HeLa (C), mouse lung (D), rat lung (E) whole cell lysates. (Predicted band size: 28 kD; Observed band size: 22 kD)
Immunofluorescent analysis of Aquaporin 5 staining in A549 cells. Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with the primary antibody in 3% BSA-PBS and incubated overnight at 4 °C in a hidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a AF488-conjugated secondary antibody (green) in PBS at room temperature in the dark. Phalloidin - AF594 was used to stain Actin filaments (red). DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue).

Protein Information
Name	AQP5 (HGNC:638)
Function	Aquaporins form homotetrameric transmembrane channels, with each monomer independently mediating water transport across the plasma membrane along its osmotic gradient (PubMed:18768791, PubMed:8621489). 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 (PubMed:16571723). Seems to play a redundant role in water transport in the eye, lung and in sweat glands (By similarity).
Cellular Location	Apical cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein Note=Hypotonicity increases location at the cell membrane Phosphorylation decreases location at the cell membrane
Tissue Location	Detected in skin eccrine sweat glands, at the apical cell membrane and at intercellular canaliculi (at protein level).
