Vasopressin

Catalog No. T9857 CAS 11000-17-2

Synonyms: antidiuretic hormone (ADH), argipressin, arginine vasopressin (AVP)

Vasopressin (argipressin), a cyclic nine-peptide synthesized by hypothalamic neurons, is one of the hormones involved in peptide prohormone synthesis. Vasopressin is involved in the regulation process of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, increasing the amount of solute free water reabsorbed from the renal tubule's colate back into the circulation, narrowing arteries to increase pressure, enhancing the stimulating effect of corticotropin releasing factor to regulate pituitary corticotropin secretion. Vasopressin acts as a neurotransmitter during nerve conduction by binding to specific G-protein-coupled receptors.

Description	Vasopressin (argipressin), a cyclic nine-peptide synthesized by hypothalamic neurons, is one of the hormones involved in peptide prohormone synthesis. Vasopressin is involved in the regulation process of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, increasing the amount of solute free water reabsorbed from the renal tubule's colate back into the circulation, narrowing arteries to increase pressure, enhancing the stimulating effect of corticotropin releasing factor to regulate pituitary corticotropin secretion. Vasopressin acts as a neurotransmitter during nerve conduction by binding to specific G-protein-coupled receptors.
In vitro	AVP (0.01 nM-1 μM) triggers Ca2+ elevation in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing either rat or human V1b receptors.[1]
In vivo	Vasopressin (0.03-0.3 μg/kg; i.p.) enhances corticotropin release elicited by exogenous corticoliberin and amplifies corticotropin secretion following dehydration.[1] Vasopressin (0.001-0.1 mg/kg; i.p.) significantly promotes proximity, wherein rats encountering each other for the first time exhibit passive side-by-side positioning.[2]

Synonyms	antidiuretic hormone (ADH), argipressin, arginine vasopressin (AVP)
