Family MIP/aquaporin family
Function
Forms a water-specific channel. Plays an important role in fluid secretion in salivary glands. 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.

Experiment 1 Reporting the Ferroptosis Target of This Regulator [1]
Target for Ferroptosis Driver
Responsed Disease Cervical cancer ICD-11: 2C77
Responsed Drug Hydrogen Peroxide Investigative
Pathway Response Fatty acid metabolism hsa01212
Ferroptosis hsa04216
Cell Process Cell ferroptosis
In Vitro Model
HeLa cells Endocervical adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0030
SAS cells Tongue squamous cell carcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_1675
Response regulation Mitochondrial transfer upregulated the mitochondrial quality control protein prohibitin 2 (PHB2), which contributes to reduced AQPs(AQP3, AQP5,AQP8) expression. H2O2 treatment enhances AQPs expression, Fe2+ level, and lipid peroxidation, and decrease mitochondrial function by downregulating PHB2 in endocervical adenocarcinoma, and thus, is a promising modality for effective cancer treatment. Moreover, NOX2 expression is upregulated in 0 cells, and that NOX2 binds to AQP3, 5, and 8 in both HeLa and SAS cells.
