Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.3.0)
Predicted to enable neuropeptide hormone activity; protein kinase activity; and vasopressin receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including grooming behavior; maternal aggressive behavior; and positive regulation of biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and renal water absorption. Predicted to be located in dendrite and extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space and neuronal dense core vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in diabetes insipidus; neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus; opioid abuse; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human AVP (arginine vasopressin).
