(Asu1,6,Arg8)-vasopressin, also known as a modified form of vasopressin, is a peptide hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating water retention in the body and influencing blood pressure. This synthetic analog features specific amino acid substitutions that enhance its stability and biological activity compared to the natural form of vasopressin. The modifications at positions 1 and 6, where aspartic acid is substituted, and the presence of arginine at position 8, contribute to its increased potency and longer half-life. As a nonapeptide, it consists of nine amino acids, and its structure is critical for its interaction with vasopressin receptors, particularly V1 and V2 receptors, which mediate its physiological effects. This compound is often utilized in research and clinical settings for its vasopressor and antidiuretic properties, making it valuable in the treatment of conditions such as diabetes insipidus and certain types of shock. Its CAS number, 40944-53-4, is a unique identifier that facilitates the cataloging and study of this specific chemical entity.

[Asu1,6-Arg8]Vasopressin

<p>Vasopressin is a peptide hormone that is synthesized from the amino acid arginine and stored in vesicles. It is released into the bloodstream by the hypothalamus, where it acts as an antidiuretic and also stimulates vasoconstriction and contraction of smooth muscle. Vasopressin has been shown to inhibit the binding of ligands to their receptors, which may be due to its ability to activate these receptors. This protein has been used as a research tool for studying receptor-ligand interactions, cell biology, and pharmacology. It can also be used as a reagent for Western blotting or immunohistochemistry.</p>
