Vasopressin

Alternative Names: Antidiuretic Hormone, Arginine vasopressin, Argipressin, AVP, AVP-NPII, AVRP, ARVP, Vasopressin, Vasopressin-neurophysin 2-copeptin, VP

Arginine vasopressin (AVP), also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), is a hormone released by the human body in response to dehydration. It aids in water conservation by the kidneys, leading to concentrated urine and reduced urine volume. Additionally, AVP can increase blood pressure through mild vasoconstriction. It has various effects on the brain. Lysine vasopressin (LVP), a similar substance to AVP, serves a comparable function in pigs and is utilized in human therapy. Vasopressin is a peptide hormone derived from a preprohormone synthesized in the hypothalamus. It is produced during transportation to the posterior pituitary, where it is primarily stored before release into the bloodstream. Some vasopressin is also directly released into the brain. AVP facilitates water reabsorption by introducing additional water channels in the collecting ducts of the kidneys.

Product Description

Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone, is a peptide hormone that belongs to the family of neuropeptides. It is produced in the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. With a molecular weight of approximately 1,084 Da, vasopressin plays a key role in regulating water reabsorption in the kidneys, maintaining blood pressure, and controlling the body's fluid balance. Its functions include vasoconstriction and stimulation of water retention in the kidneys, helping to regulate blood volume and pressure.

Product Guarantee

If your product is within its expiration period, and has not performed according to expectations, fill out the sample return form. Return the unused sample frozen, with the auto generated packing slip to the address on the instructions. You will receive a full refund along with a replacement of the unused portion (inclusive of the failed test). Damages do not cover any additional costs incurred for failed experimentation. 

Amino Acid Sequence

C[Cys-Tyr-Phe-Gln-Asn-Cys]-Pro-Arg-Gly-NH2.

Storage Instruction

Lyophilized Vasopressin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Vasopressin should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Sample Prep Instruction

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Vasopressin in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
