Preparation and Storage

Background: Neurophysin II

Arginine vasopressin (AVP)/Neurophysin 2 is a hormone synthesized in neurons in the hypothalamus that specifically binds vasopressin.  Vasopressin has a direct antidiuretic action on the kidney and causes vasoconstriction of the peripheral vessels.  Vasopressin regulates the tonicity of body fluid by causing the kidneys to reabsorb solute-free water and returning it to the circulation from the tubules of the nephron.  AVP released in high concentrations may also raise blood pressure by inducing vasoconstriction.  The stimulus for secretion of vasopressin is increased osmolality of the plasma which is monitored by the hypothalamus.  Vasopressin is often used to manage anti-diuretic hormone deficiency.
