neurofisina I
neurofisina II
neurofisina III
neurofisina asociada a la oxitocina
Scope note: Proteínas portadoras de la OXITOCINA y VASOPRESINA. Son polipéptidos de aproximadamente 10 kDa, sintetizadas en el HIPOTÁLAMO. La neurofisina I se asocia con la oxitocina y la neurofisina II con la vasopresina en sus respectivos precursores y durante el transporte por los axones hasta la neurohipófisis (HIPÓFISIS POSTERIOR).

Scope note: Carrier proteins for OXYTOCIN and VASOPRESSIN. They are polypeptides of about 10-kDa, synthesized in the HYPOTHALAMUS. Neurophysin I is associated with oxytocin and neurophysin II is associated with vasopressin in their respective precursors and during transportation down the axons to the neurohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, POSTERIOR).
