vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor 2(VIPR2) Homo sapiens 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. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011],function:This is a receptor for VIP as well as PACAP-38 and -27, the activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase. Can be coupled to phospholipase C.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 2 family.,tissue specificity:Expressed in CD4+ T-cells, but not in CD8+ T-cells. Expressed in the T-cell lines Jurkat, PEER, MOLT-4, HSB, YT and Tsup-1, but not in the T-cell lines HARRIS and HUT 78.,
