the NEUROHYPOPHYSIS of all vertebrates (structure varies with species) to regulate water balance and OSMOLARITY. In general, vasopressin is a nonapeptide consisting of a six-amino-acid ring with a cysteine 1 to cysteine 6 disulfide bridge or an octapeptide containing a CYSTINE. All mammals have arginine vasopressin except the pig with a lysine at position 8. Vasopressin, a vasoconstrictor, acts on the KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCTS to increase water reabsorption, increase blood volume and blood pressure.
Vasopressin has been studied across 20 research domains including ❤️ Cardiovascular, 🫘 Kidney, 🫁 Respiratory, 🧠 Focus & Attention, 😴 Sleep. The primary research focus is ❤️ Cardiovascular with 22% of studies addressing this area.
