Usage

General Description

[ASU1,6,ARG8]-VASOPRESSIN is a synthetic form of the hormone vasopressin, which is produced by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland. It plays a key role in regulating water balance and blood pressure in the body. This synthetic form has been modified to enhance its stability and effectiveness as a therapeutic agent. It acts as a potent vasoconstrictor, causing blood vessels to narrow and helping to increase blood pressure. It is commonly used in the treatment of conditions such as diabetes insipidus, where the body is unable to retain water properly, and in certain cases of septic shock to increase blood pressure. The modification of this hormone into a synthetic form has allowed for more precise dosing and targeted therapeutic effects.
