| Application: | [Arg8]-Vasopressin acetate salt has been: • used as a vasopressin receptor agonist to test vasopressin receptors • used to evoke peripheral V1a receptor-mediated vasoconstriction • as a supplement in Ham′s F12/Dulbecco′s modified Eagle′s medium for proximal tubule and glomerular explant cell culture |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | 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). |
