Gene information for AVPR1A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID552
Official gene symbolAVPR1A
Full namearginine vasopressin receptor 1A
Aliases,AVPR1,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene acts as receptor for arginine vasopressin. This receptor belongs to the subfamily of G-protein coupled receptors which includes AVPR1B, V2R and OXT receptors. Its activity is mediated by G proteins which stimulate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. The receptor mediates cell contraction and proliferation, platelet aggregation, release of coagulation factor and glycogenolysis. [provided by RefSeq]
