VIPR1 vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor 1

Gene ID: 7433, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: II; HVR1; RDC1; V1RG; VIPR; VIRG; VAPC1; VPAC1; VPAC1R; VIP-R-1; VPCAP1R; PACAP-R2; PACAP-R-2

Summary

This gene encodes a receptor for vasoactive intestinal peptide, a small neuropeptide. Vasoactive intestinal peptide is involved in smooth muscle relaxation, exocrine and endocrine secretion, and water and ion flux in lung and intestinal epithelia. Its actions are effected through integral membrane receptors associated with a guanine nucleotide binding protein which activates adenylate cyclase. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
