Background
The 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, Jul 2008],
Function
function:Receptor for arginine vasopressin. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate a phosphatidyl-inositol-calcium second messenger system. Has been involved in social behaviors, including affiliation and attachment.,miscellaneous:Differences in regional receptor expression in the brain as well as differences in social behavior may result from a highly variable repetitive sequence in the 5' flanking region of AVPR1A. One such allelic variant has been linked to autism.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,
