description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable 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 Golgi apparatus. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; eye; genitourinary system; and immune system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autism spectrum disorder; bipolar disorder; and mood disorder. Orthologous to human AVPR1B (arginine vasopressin receptor 1B). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice for one allele display dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity under stress and resting conditions. Homozygous null mice for other alleles display decreased aggression or an increased propensity for seizures. [provided by MGI curators] |
