V2 vasopressin receptor mutations

2020
V2 vasopressin receptor (V2R) is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family in which many disease-causing mutations have been identified and thus generated much interest. Loss-of-function V2R mutations cause nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) whereas gain-of-function mutations cause nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis ...

Vasopressin and Vasopressin Receptor Antagonists in Heart Failure

Cardiology in Review, 2009
Antidiuretic hormone, also known as arginine vasopressin, is a hormone with a multitude of physiologic activities including the control of urinary free water excretion. Antidiuretic hormone also plays a role in vasoconstriction and has 3 receptors that have been identified.

Genetics of vasopressin receptors

Current Hypertension Reports, 2004
Membrane receptors that couple to guanine nucleotide binding protein (GPCRs) represent one of the largest families of proteins in the genome. Because of their universal distribution and multiple actions, genetic variations of GPCRs are associated with various human diseases.

Vasopressin and oxytocin receptors

Baillière's Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1996
The oxytocin and the vasopressin V1a, V1b and V2 receptors have recently been cloned and shown to form a sub-family within the large superfamily of G-protein-linked receptors. Renal V2 receptors mediate vasopressin-induced water reabsorption via induction of intracellular cAMP production in collecting duct cells.

Human vascular vasopressin receptors: analysis with selective vasopressin receptor antagonists.

The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 1986
The vascular activity of arginine vasopressin (AVP) and selective AVP receptor antagonists was investigated in isolated arterial ring segments from human superior mesenteric arteries. AVP elicited a potent and concentration-dependent contraction in human mesenteric arterial rings with an EC50 value of 2.01 X 10(-9) M.

Physiology of the vasopressin receptors

Best Practice & Research Clinical Anaesthesiology, 2008
This review article summarizes the structure, signalling pathways, and tissue distribution of the vasopressin receptors, V1 vascular, V2 renal, V3 pituitary, and oxytocin receptors, as well as the P2 class of purinoceptors. The physiological effects of vasopressin on its receptors are described.

Vasopressin V2 receptor/bioligand interactions

Letters in Peptide Science, 1998
We predict some essential interactions between the V2 vasopressin renal receptor (V2R) and its agonists [Arg8]vasopressin (AVP) and [D-Arg8]vasopressin (DAVP), and the non-peptide antagonist OPC-31260. V2R controls antidiuresis and belongs to the superfamily of heptahelical transmembrane (7TM) G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The receptor was built,

Palmitoylation of the V2 Vasopressin Receptor

Molecular Pharmacology, 1997
Palmitoylation of the V2 vasopressin receptor (V2R) and its functional role were investigated in transfected cells. Palmitoylation was assessed by incubating transfected cells with [3H]palmitic acid and immunoprecipitating the receptor with an antibody raised against a portion of the third intracellular loop of V2R.

Vasopressin Receptors in Voiding Dysfunction

2011
Arginine vasopressin (AVP), also known as vasopressin or anti-diuretic hormone, is a neuropeptide produced in the hypothalamus. It is primarily responsible for osmoregulation and thus maintains body fluid homeostasis. It is also a potent vasoconstrictor, may have a role in higher cognitive functions and affects metabolism.

Solubilization of Vasopressin Receptors

1991
Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of the solubilization of vasopressin receptors. Vasopressin is a neurohypophyseal hormone that includes antidiuresis, promotes glycogenolysis in the liver, and contracts vascular smooth muscle, thereby, raising blood pressure.
