Application

[Arg8]-Vasopressin solution was used as an antigen for preparing preadsorbed antisera for immunocytochemistry. The product was used in L6 cell culture of the C5 subclone for differentiation studies.

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).
[Arg8]-Vasopressin solution also known as Antidiuretic hormone, Arginine vasopressin or beta-Hypophamine is a selective and potent vasopressor agent that stabilizes the cardiocirculatory function in normal human as well as in patients suffering from catecholamine-resistant vasodilatory shock. It stimulates three acid-base transporters and hence increases the capability of the cell to regulate pH.
