Aquaporin 5 Interacts with Fluoride and Possibly Protects Against Caries [PDF]
Aquaporins (AQP) are water channel proteins and the genes coding for AQP2, AQP5, and AQP6 are clustered in 12q13. Since AQP5 is expressed in serous acinar cells of salivary glands, we investigated its involvement in caries.
