prepro-vasopressin; vasopressin-neurophysin 2 copeptin (AVP)

Function: - precursor for - arginine vasopressin - neurophysin 2 - neurophysin 2 specifically binds vasopressin - copeptin Structure: belongs to the vasopressin/oxytocin family Compartment: secreted Pathology: - defects in AVP are the cause of a) autosomal dominant neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus b) autosomal recessive neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus - disruption of preproAVP-NPII processing believed to play a role
