Gene: VIPR2

Alternate names for this Gene: C16DUPq36.3|DUP7q36.3|PACAP-R-3|PACAP-R3|VIP-R-2|VPAC2|VPAC2R|VPCAP2R

Gene 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7q36.3

Description of this Gene: vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
