Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including 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 and endosome. Predicted to be active in 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).
