Also known as V2R

Summary

AVPR2 (arginine vasopressin receptor 2, HGNC:897) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xq28, encoding Vasopressin V2 receptor (P30518). G protein-coupled receptor for arginine vasopressin, an antidiuretic that promotes renal water reabsorption. It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).

This gene encodes the vasopressin receptor, type 2, also known as the V2 receptor, which belongs to the seven-transmembrane-domain G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, and couples to Gs thus stimulating adenylate cyclase. The subfamily that includes the V2 receptor, the V1a and V1b vasopressin receptors, the oxytocin receptor, and isotocin and mesotocin receptors in non-mammals, is well conserved, though several members signal via other G proteins. All bind similar cyclic nonapeptide hormones. The V2 receptor is expressed in the kidney tubule, predominantly in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting ducts, where its primary property is to respond to the pituitary hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) by stimulating mechanisms that concentrate the urine and maintain water homeostasis in the organism. When the function of this gene is lost, the disease Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus (NDI) results. The V2 receptor is also expressed outside the kidney although its tissue localization is uncertain. When these ’extrarenal receptors’ are stimulated by infusion of a V2 selective agonist (dDAVP), a variety of clotting factors are released into the bloodstream. The physiologic importance of this property is not known - its absence does not appear to be detrimental in NDI patients. The gene expression has also been described in fetal lung tissue and lung cancer associated with alternative splicing.

Genomic neighbors (locus context)

Genes flanking this one on the chromosome (NCBI/Entrez gene neighborhood). Positional context only — some neighbors share regulatory elements (bidirectional promoters, antisense/overlapping transcripts), but chromosomal adjacency is not itself a functional relationship (see Interactions for that).

Vasopressin V2 receptor — P30518 (reviewed: P30518)

Alternative names: AVPR V2, Antidiuretic hormone receptor, Renal-type arginine vasopressin receptor

All UniProt accessions (3): C9JV81, P30518, F8WET1

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. G protein-coupled receptor for arginine vasopressin, an antidiuretic that promotes renal water reabsorption. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase (cAMP). AVPR2 is coupled to G(s) G alpha proteins and mediates activation of adenylate cyclase activity.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts with ARRDC4. Identified in a complex containing at least ARRDC4, V2R and HGS. Interacts with TMEM147. Interacts (when phosphorylated) with ARRB2; the interaction is associated with internalization of the receptor and short-term desensitization to the ligand.

Subcellular location. Cell membrane.

Tissue specificity. Kidney.

Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation of the P-X-P-P motif promotes association with beta-arrestin ARRB2, leading to receptor desensitization and negative regulation of G protein-coupled receptor signaling.

Disease relevance. Nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (NSIAD) [MIM:300539] Characterized by an inability to excrete a free water load, with inappropriately concentrated urine and resultant hyponatremia, hypoosmolarity, and natriuresis. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Diabetes insipidus, nephrogenic, 1, X-linked (NDI1) [MIM:304800] A disorder caused by the inability of the renal collecting ducts to absorb water in response to arginine vasopressin. Characterized by excessive water drinking (polydipsia), excessive urine excretion (polyuria), persistent hypotonic urine, and hypokalemia. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Domain organisation. The P-X-P-P motif is phosphorylated in response to ligand binding, promoting. association with beta-arrestin ARRB2.

Similarity. Belongs to the G protein-coupled receptor 1 family. Vasopressin/oxytocin receptor subfamily.

Drugs & pharmacology

Drug and pharmacology data

Is drug target: yes

ChEMBL targets (4): CHEMBL1790 (SINGLE PROTEIN), CHEMBL2363078 (PROTEIN FAMILY), CHEMBL4523980 (SELECTIVITY GROUP), CHEMBL5482972 (CHIMERIC PROTEIN)

Drugs by curated mechanism of action (ChEMBL)

Drugs whose curated ChEMBL mechanism of action targets the AVPR2 protein itself — single-protein targets only (drugs acting on a protein family or complex that merely includes it are excluded). Includes antibodies and oligonucleotides that bioactivity screening does not capture.

Drugs acting on a complex or family that includes this protein

Curated ChEMBL mechanism-of-action drugs whose target is a protein complex or family of ≤10 members that includes AVPR2 — the drug acts on the assembly or class, not necessarily on this subunit alone.

Molecules with ChEMBL bioactivity

Phase ≥1, by development phase (incl. off-target/promiscuous compounds). Patent mentions across the top 20 by phase: 322,838 (via chembl_molecule»patent_compound — counts attach to the compound, not the gene–compound relationship, so off-target/promiscuous molecules can dominate).
