Argipressin is the predominant form of mammalian vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone). . Argipressin is a synthetic peptide identical to the endogenous nonapeptide hormone with antidiuretic property. Synthesized in the hypothalamus and stored/released from the posterior lobe of the pituitary, argipressin’s primary function is regulating extracellular fluid volume. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a peptide source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include 8-Arginine-vasopressin, Argipressinum, Pitressin and Vasophysin. Its PubChem CID is 644077.
