High impact information on VIPR1

The clone had the expected similarity to highly conserved features of the other G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) such as six cysteine residues that are functionally important in the VIPR subfamily [1].
Expression of VIPR was detected in the anterior pituitary gland of chick embryos [1].
Chicken VIPR shows high homology with mammalian type I VIPR but, in some part, possesses similarity of amino acid sequence [1].
The results suggest the presence of VIP receptor in the hen granulosa cells and its binding is assumed to be related to the follicular growth and ovulation [2].
Influence of selective VIP receptor agonists in the rat gastric fundus [3].

Biological context of VIPR1

In addition, the first nonmammalian full-length VIP receptor cDNA was obtained by screening a goldfish brain and pituitary cDNA library [4].

Anatomical context of VIPR1

The polypeptide PHI discriminates a GTP-insensitive form of VIP receptor in liver membranes [5].
Presence of vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor in the hen hypothalamus [6].
