basic FUNCTION
  • arginine vasopressin receptor, mediating cell contraction and proliferation, platelet aggregation, release of coagulation factor and glycogenolysis
  • the counteractivity of AVPR2 and AVPR1A could be required to maintain minimum urine volume in the dehydrated state
  • role in contributing to the prepulse inhibition response to auditory stimuli

    Susceptibility
  • to autism
  • variation in pair-bonding behavior
  • to autism spectrum disorder
  • to diabetes in subjects with a high fat intake or who are overweight
  • to hypertension in nonobese individuals
    • Variant & Polymorphism SNP , repeat
  • association between a polymorphic repeat sequence in the 5' flanking region and proneness for monogamous behavior in males
  • rs7294536 and rs10877969, in the promoter region of AVPR1A significant associated to autism spectrum disorder
  • rs1042615 T allele is associated with diabetes in subjects with a high fat intake or who are overweight
  • significant association between one of the genotypes and alleles at SNP -6951 and hypertension in a subsample of nonobese individuals

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • male arginine vasopressin 1a receptor knockout mice (V1aR(-/-)) display a phenotype of low triglycerides and high glucose concentrations and high-fat-diet-induced obesity and diabetes
