The following gene names and symbols are associated with antigen Vasopressin across different species:

arginine vasopressin (AVP), arginine vasopressin (Avp), arginine vasopressin (avp)

Other aliases include:

VP, ADH, ARVP, AVRP, AVP-NPII, Vp, Vsp, DI, Vas, AVP, adh, arvp, avrp, avp-npii, copeptin, vasotocin

On the protein level the following designations are being used for antigen Vasopressin:

arginine vasopressin-neurophysin II – neurohypophyseal – antidiuretic hormone – vasopressin-neurophysin II-copeptin – vasopressin-neurophysin 2-copeptin – AVP-NPII – OTTMUSP00000016544 – prepropressophysin – preprovasopressin-neurophysin – vasopressin-neurophysin prepropeptide – arginine vasopressin (Diabetes insipidus), same as Di (conflicting physical mapping) – arginine vasopressin (neurophysin II, antidiuretic hormone, diabetes insipidus, neurohypophyseal) – arginine vasopressin – neurophysin 2 – arginine vasopressin (neurophysin 2, antidiuretic hormone, diabetes insipidus, neurohypophyseal)

Vasopressin fulfills a number of functions:

neurohypophyseal hormone activity – V1A vasopressin receptor binding – V1B vasopressin receptor binding – hormone activity – neuropeptide hormone activity – V2 vasopressin receptor binding – protein binding

Vasopressin is relevant to the following processes:

G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway – cell-cell signaling – generation of precursor metabolites and energy – signal transduction – vasoconstriction – water transport – diuresis – elevation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration – grooming behavior – locomotory behavior – maternal aggressive behavior – maternal behavior – multicellular organismal water homeostasis – negative regulation of female receptivity – negative regulation of transmission of nerve impulse – penile erection – positive regulation of cAMP biosynthetic process – positive regulation of cell growth – positive regulation of cell proliferation – positive regulation of cellular pH reduction – positive regulation of glutamate secretion – positive regulation of prostaglandin biosynthetic process – positive regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure – positive regulation of vasoconstriction – regulation of blood vessel size – regulation of natriuresis – social behavior – hyperosmotic salinity response – positive regulation of gene expression – response to ethanol – response to nicotine – response to organic cyclic substance – response to stress – response to testosterone stimulus – smooth muscle contraction – temperature homeostasis

Locations for Vasopressin:

extracellular region – soluble fraction – dendrite – extracellular space – stored secretory granule
