Arginine vasopressin receptor 1B (AVPR1B, vasopressin 3 receptor) is a protein that acts as receptor for arginine vasopressin. AVPR1B belongs to the subfamily of G-protein coupled receptors. Its activity is mediated by G proteins which stimulate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system.

Contents

Tissue distribution

AVPR1B was initially described as a novel vasopressin receptor located in the anterior pituitary, where it stimulates ACTH release.[1] Subsequent studies have shown its presence in the brain as well.[2][3]

Clinical significance

Behavioral

Inactivation of the Avpr1b in mice (knockout) produces mice with greatly reduced aggression and a reduced ability to recognize recently investigated mice.[4] Interestingly, defensive behavior and predatory behaviors appear to normal in these knockout mice.[5] There is evidence that social motivation or awareness is reduced in these mice.[6] The AVPR1B antagonist, SSR149415, has been shown to have anti-aggressive actions in hamsters[7] and anti-depressant- and anxiety (anxiolytic)-like behaviors in rats.[8] A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has been associated with susceptiblility to depression in man.[9]

Metabolic

Various stress-induced elevations of ACTH are blunted in the Avpr1b knockout mouse.[10]

Oncology

AVPR1B is expressed at high levels in ACTH-secreting pituitary adenomas as well as in bronchial carcinoids[11] responsible for the ectopic ACTH syndrome.[12]

Ligands

SSR149415[13] and D-[Leu4-Lys8]-vasopressin[14] are a specific antagonist and agonist for the vasopressin 1b receptor, respectively.
