argipressin

Argipressin (Vasopressin) is a peptide hormone with vasoconstrictive and antidiuretic activities that binds to the vascular arginine vasopressin receptor, V1, with Kd values of 1.31 and 1.44 nM in A7r5 rat aortic smooth muscle cells and neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, respectively.

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.

Vasopressin acetate is a peptide hormone with vasoconstrictive and antidiuretic activities that binds to the vascular arginine vasopressin receptor, V1, with Kd values of 1.31 and 1.44 nM in A7r5 rat aortic smooth muscle cells and neonatal rat cardiomyocy

Argipressin (diacetate) (AVP (diacetate), also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH)), is a nine-amino acid neuropeptide produced by the posterior pituitary gland. It plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance, osmolality, and cardiovascular function through interaction with three distinct G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs): Avpr1a (V1a), Avpr1b (V1b), and Avpr2 (V2). Argipressin (diacetate) also influences centrally regulated metabolic processes, highlighting its significance in physiological regulation [1].

Argipressin, des-glynh2(9)-, can effect on aggregation of blood platelets.

Argipressin, ala(10)- is a Decapeptide that differs from argipressin in the addition of an N-terminal Ala-residue.
