AVT is involved in the regulation of ion transport in the intestine of the sea bream ( Sparus aurata )

Highlights • A partial sequence of AVT V1a2-type receptor was cloned in the sea bream. • The AVT V1a2-type receptor is distributed in the whole gastrointestinal tract. • The AVT V1a2-type receptor expression is sensitive to salinity. • AVT controls ion transport in the intestine as demonstrated in U...

Description
Summary:Highlights • A partial sequence of AVT V1a2-type receptor was cloned in the sea bream. • The AVT V1a2-type receptor is distributed in the whole gastrointestinal tract. • The AVT V1a2-type receptor expression is sensitive to salinity. • AVT controls ion transport in the intestine as demonstrated in Ussing chambers. • AVT action is mediated by a bumetanide-sensitive mechanism, likely NKCC2.
