Which variants are tested in the male pair-bonding test?
There are three different AVPR1A variants (RS1, RS3 and GT25) that arise due to short tandem repeats (STRs) in the regulatory region, which controls AVPR1A protein levels.
What is the function of the arginine vasopressin receptor A1?
Vasopressin is a hormone or a chemical messenger that promotes water retention in the kidneys and increase blood pressure. Most of these effects take place
