Descriptor	vasopresinas
Entry term(s)	beta-hipofamina hormona antidiurética hormonas antidiuréticas pitresina
Scope note:	Hormonas antidiuréticas liberadas por la NEUROHIPÓFISIS de todos los vertebrados (la composición química varía con la especie) para regular el equilibrio hídrico y la OSMOLARIDAD. En general, la vasopresina es un nonapéptido consistente en un anillo de seis aminoácidos con un puente disulfuro de la cisteína 1 a la cisteína 6 o un octapéptido que contiene una CISTINA. Todos los mamíferos tienen arginina vasopresina, a excepción del cerdo, que tiene una lisina en la posición 8. La vasopresina, un vasoconstrictor, actúa en los CONDUCTOS COLECTORES RENALES aumentando la reabsorción de agua, el volumen sanguíneo y la presión arterial.

Scope note:

Antidiuretic hormones released by the NEUROHYPOPHYSIS of all vertebrates (structure varies with species) to regulate water balance and OSMOLARITY. In general, vasopressin is a nonapeptide consisting of a six-amino-acid ring with a cysteine 1 to cysteine 6 disulfide bridge or an octapeptide containing a CYSTINE. All mammals have arginine vasopressin except the pig with a lysine at position 8. Vasopressin, a vasoconstrictor, acts on the KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCTS to increase water reabsorption, increase blood volume and blood pressure.
