GO curators for mouse genes have assigned the following annotations to the gene product of Avpr2. (This text reflects annotations as of Tuesday, May 21, 2013.) Summary from NCBI RefSeq
This gene encodes a member of the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family and the vasopressin/oxytocin receptor subfamily. The encoded protein is an arginine vasopressin receptor which, when stimulated, activates the Gs protein/adenylyl cyclase signaling cascade and is involved in water and electrolyte homeostasis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]Summary text based on GO annotations supported by experimental evidence in mouse
