The vasointestinal peptide receptor type 2 (VIP2) also known as VIPR2 is a transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor with a mass of approximately 52 kDa. VIP2 mediates its effects through the binding of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). It predominantly expresses in the central nervous system including the hippocampus and cerebral cortex and some peripheral tissues such as the gastrointestinal tract. VIPR2 plays an important role in transmitting extracellular signals into intracellular responses.
Biological function summary
Within different tissues VIP2 functions in regulating circadian rhythms immune responses and neuroprotection. VIP2 serves as an important component of a receptor complex that interacts with other neuropeptides and neurotransmitters. Its activity influences the modulation of neurophysiological processes such as neurotransmission and hormone secretion. The receptor's ability to initiate cAMP production following VIP binding is central to its biological activity.
Pathways
VIP2 is involved in critical signaling pathways like the cAMP-PKA signaling pathway and the circadian rhythm regulation pathway. These pathways allow the integration of environmental signals to maintain homeostasis and organism health. In the cAMP-PKA pathway VIP2 interacts closely with related receptors such as VPAC1 and VPAC2 sharing similar downstream effects that ultimately impact gene expression and cellular communication.
VIP2 has been associated with schizotypal personality disorder and certain autoimmune conditions. There is evidence suggesting VIP2 variations may contribute to altered neurodevelopment processes linked to psychiatric conditions. The receptor's dysfunction impacts neuroinflammation where it might connect with proteins like cytokines and chemokines that mediate immune responses. Understanding VIP2's role could lead to potential therapeutic targets for these challenging conditions.
