Abstract excerpt
Loss-of-function mutations of the arginine vasopressin receptor 2 gene (AVPR2) cause Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). AVPR2 is a kind of G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) and mainly couples with Gαs protein leading to cAMP accumulation in the cell as a secondary messenger. Recent studies showed that some AVPR2 mutations could cause biased Gαq/11 protein coupling rather than Gαs. Investigation into the...
