Predicted to enable oxytocin receptor activity; peptide hormone binding activity; and vasopressin receptor activity. Involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of blood pressure. Predicted to be located in adherens junction; apical plasma membrane; and microvillus. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and small intestine.
