basic FUNCTION	the counteractivity of AVPR2 and AVPR1A could be required to maintain minimum urine volume in the dehydrated state
	key component involved in renal water reabsorption
	presence in primary cilia of renal epithelial cells, and with a functional cAMP-signaling pathway, which targets ciliary channel function, may help control the sensory function of the primary cilium
	exhibits mostly important properties for hydroosmotic equilibrium and, to a lesser extent, on vasomotricity
	main functions of AVPR2 in principal cells of the collecting duct are water, salt, and urea transport by modifying the trafficking of aquaporin 2, epithelial Na(+) channels, and urea transporters
	its activation promotes microvascular permeability in sepsis

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interacting with NFKB and AQP2 (NF-kappaB activation is of importance for the downregulation of AQP2 channel and AVPR2 expression during sepsis)
	functionally and conformationally activate ARRB1
	ELF5 is a principal cell lineage specific transcription factor in the kidney that contributes to AQP2 and AVPR2 gene expression
