Function
G protein-coupled receptor for arginine vasopressin, an antidiuretic that promotes renal water reabsorption. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase (cAMP). AVPR2 is coupled to G(s) G alpha proteins and mediates activation of adenylate cyclase activity.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Kidney
Disease Association: Nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (NSIAD) : Characterized by an inability to excrete a free water load, with inappropriately concentrated urine and resultant hyponatremia, hypoosmolarity, and natriuresis. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry] | Diabetes insipidus, nephrogenic, 1, X-linked (NDI1) : A disorder caused by the inability of the renal collecting ducts to absorb water in response to arginine vasopressin. Characterized by excessive water drinking (polydipsia), excessive urine excretion (polyuria), persistent hypotonic urine, and hypokalemia. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
