Vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor 2 also known as VPAC2, is a

G-protein coupled receptor that in humans is encoded by the VIPR2 gene.[5]

Tissue distribution

VIPR2 is

blood vessels and thymus.[6][7] VIPR2 is also expressed in the cerebellum.[8]

Function

adenylate cyclase activity.[9] Furthermore, VIPR2 mediates the anti-inflammatory effects of VIP.[10]

Research using VPAC2 knockout mice implicate it in the function of the circadian clock, growth, basal energy expenditure and male reproduction.[11][12][13][14]

VIPR2 and/or

cutaneous active vasodilation in humans.[15]

Splice variants may modify the immunoregulatory contributions of the VIP-VIPR2 axis.[16]

VIPR2 may contribute to autoregulation and/or coupling within the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) core and to control of the SCN shell.[17]

Clinical significance

VIPR2 may play a role in schizophrenia.[18]

The abnormal expression of VIPR2

gall stones and polyps.[19]
