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
