    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
