Description

The human AVPR2 locus encodes vasopressin receptor type 2, a member of the vasopressin/oxytocin family subfamily. V2 receptor has been shown to concentrate the urine and maintain water homeostasis by responding to the pituitary hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP). Loss of gene function results in the disease Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus (NDI). When extrarenal V2 receptors are stimulated by infusion of a V2 selective agonist (dDAVP), a variety of clotting factors are released into the bloodstream. The physiologic importance of this property is not known; its absence does not appear to be detrimental in NDI patients. The V2 receptor is expressed in the kidney tubule, predominantly in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting ducts. The V2 Receptor is also expressed outside the kidney although its tissue localization is uncertain. AVPR2 expression has also been described in brain, breast, fetal lung tissue and lung cancer associated with alternative splicing. ESTs have been isolated from normal lung and pancreatic cancer libraries.
