Description

arginine vasopressin receptor 2

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable vasopressin receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of urine volume; positive regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure; and telencephalon development. Predicted to be located in endocytic vesicle; endosome; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Used to study hypertension. Biomarker of ureteral obstruction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus; nephrogenic diabetes insipidus; and nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis. Orthologous to human AVPR2 (arginine vasopressin receptor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
