Official gene symbol | | Avpr1a |
Full name | | arginine vasopressin receptor 1A |
Aliases | | AVPR,MGC108538,V1a,V1aR |
Gene summary | | This gene encodes a receptor for arginine vasopressin, a neurohypophyseal hormone involved in diuresis inhibition, smooth muscle contraction, liver glycogenolysis stimulation and regulation of adrenocorticotropic hormone release from the pituitary. This receptor represents one of three G protein-coupled arginine vasopressin receptors which functions through a phosphotidylinositol-calcium second messenger system in vascular and hepatic tissues.
