Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable V1A vasopressin receptor binding activity; peptide hormone binding activity; and vasopressin receptor activity. Involved in regulation of blood pressure. Acts upstream of or within regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure by vasopressin. Predicted to be located in endocytic vesicle; endosome; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; eye; genitourinary system; and immune system. Used to study schizophrenia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension. Orthologous to human AVPR1A (arginine vasopressin receptor 1A).
