Description
Product Characteristics:
May contribute to arginine-vasopressin (AVP)-mediated regulation of renal salt-water balance, glucose and lipid metabolism, apoptosis, and/or cell cycle. Binds arginine-vasopressin but not angiotensin II and acts as an arginine-vasopressin V2 receptor. Plays a role in modulating inflammatory responses in the colon to allow recovery from intestinal epithelial damage and limit tumorigenic potential. Protects against the development of colitis by controlling the composition of the gut microbiota by preventing colonization of the colon by harmful, inflammation-inducing bacteria such as Prevotella species. May mediate activation of CASP1 via ASC, promote activation of NF-kappa-B and stimulate cAMP accumulation (By similarity).
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, Nucleus, Cell membrane
Synonyms: AVR, NAVR, PAN3, NALP6, PYPAF5, CLR11.4, NAVR/AVR, NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 6, Angiotensin II/vasopressin receptor, PYRIN-containing APAF1-like protein 5, NLRP6
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene binds arginine-vasopressin and may be involved in the arginine-vasopressin-mediated regulation of renal salt-water balance. The encoded protein also mediates inflammatory responses in the colon to allow recovery from intestinal epithelial damage and protects against tumorigenesis and the development of colitis. Finally, this protein can increase activation of NF-kappa-B, activation of CASP1 through interaction with ASC, and cAMP accumulation. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2013]
