1 The expression, localization, and regulation of aquaporin 5 (AQP5), a member of the water channel family of proteins, was investigated in tissues of the rat gastrointestinal tract. Water aquaporin 5 Rattus norvegicus
2 The expression, localization, and regulation of aquaporin 5 (AQP5), a member of the water channel family of proteins, was investigated in tissues of the rat gastrointestinal tract. Water aquaporin 5 Rattus norvegicus
3 These results indicate that AQP5 is present in the rat lower stomach and duodenum where it may be involved in a water transport mechanism. Water aquaporin 5 Rattus norvegicus
4 These results also support the idea that AQP5, and probably other aquaporins, are involved in water secretion in the stomach and duodenum although the volume of water transported via AQPs is unclear. Water aquaporin 5 Rattus norvegicus
