AVPR1B
Function
Receptor for arginine vasopressin. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate a phosphatidyl-inositol-calcium second messenger system.
(Microbial infection) During SARS coronavirus-2/SARS-CoV-2 infection, may recognize and internalize the complex formed by AVP/Arg-vasopressin, SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and secreted ACE2 through DNM2/dynamin 2-dependent endocytosis.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Vasopressin/oxytocin receptor subfamily.
Cellular localization
- Cell membrane
- Multi-pass membrane protein
Alternative names
AVPR3, VPR3, AVPR1B, Vasopressin V1b receptor, V1bR, AVPR V1b, AVPR V3, Antidiuretic hormone receptor 1b, Vasopressin V3 receptor
