Amino Acid Sequence

Cys-Tyr-Phe-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Arg-Gly-NH2 [Disulfide Bridge: 1-6]

一般描述

Arginine vasopressin is a nonapeptide.[1] It is produced by anterior hypothalamus nerve cells.[2]

应用

[Arg8]-Vasopressin acetate salt has been:

used as a vasopressin receptor agonist to test vasopressin receptors[3]

used to evoke peripheral V1a receptor-mediated vasoconstriction[4]

as a supplement in Ham′s F12/Dulbecco′s modified Eagle′s medium for proximal tubule and glomerular explant cell culture[5]

生化/生理作用

Endogenous antidiuretic hormone in most mammalian species. It is released into the blood from nerve terminals in the posterior pituitary and median eminence. Arg8-vasopressin is also a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It is implicated in a variety of physiological processes including diuresis, vasoregulation, and memory. Regulates water balance by antidiuretic action; contracts arterioles (vasopressor action).

制备说明

[Arg8]-Vasopressin acetate salt dissolves water at 20 mg/ml to yield a clear colorless to faint yellow solution.
