AVP Receptor V3 Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of AVP Receptor V3 protein.

The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human AVPR1B. AA range:275-324

Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.

The protein encoded by this gene acts as receptor for arginine vasopressin. This receptor belongs to the subfamily of G-protein coupled receptors which includes AVPR1A, V2R and OXT receptors. Its activity is mediated by G proteins which stimulate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. The receptor is primarily located in the anterior pituitary, where it stimulates ACTH release. It is expressed at high levels in ACTH-secreting pituitary adenomas as well as in bronchial carcinoids responsible for the ectopic ACTH syndrome. A spliced antisense transcript of this gene has been reported but its function is not known. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
