[Arg8]-Vasopressin acetate salt
[Arg8]-Vasopressin acetate salt (CAS: 113-79-1) is a synthetic analogue of the human antidiuretic hormone, arginine vasopressin. This peptide hormone plays a crucial role in regulating water reabsorption in the kidneys and maintaining blood pressure. Supplied as an aqueous solution, it is a vital tool in various research applications within cell biology, neuroscience, and endocrinology, particularly for studying fluid balance and cardiovascular control mechanisms.
