The neuropeptide hormone arginine-vasopressin (AVP) is well known to exert its antidiuretic effect via the vasopressin V2 receptor (V2R), whereas the role of the vasopressin V1a receptor (V1aR) in the kidney remains to be clarified. Previously, we reported decreased plasma volume and blood pressure in V1a receptor-deficient (V1aR-/-) mice (Koshimizu T, Nasa Y, Tanoue A, Oikawa R, Kawahara Y, Ki...
Vasopressin type 2 receptor (V2R) exhibits mostly important properties for hydroosmotic equilibrium and, to a lesser extent, on vasomotricity. Drugs currently acting on this receptor are analogs of the natural neuropeptide, arginine vasopressin (AVP), and hence are competitive ligands. Peptides that reproduce specific sequences of a given receptor have lately been reported to interfere with its...
Vasopressin is a critical regulator of water homeostasis. There are two major receptors for vasopressin: V1 and V2 receptors. Disturbances in water balance are commonly encountered in clinical practice and can be divided into disorders of urinary dilution and concentration. The major representatives of such disorders are diabetes insipidus and the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiur...
Can empathy for others motivate aggression on their behalf? This research examined potential predictors of empathy-linked aggression including the emotional state of empathy, an empathy target's distress state, and the function of the social anxiety-modulating neuropeptides oxytocin and vasopressin. In Study 1 (N = 69), self-reported empathy combined with threat to a close other and individual ...
Romantic and maternal love are highly rewarding experiences. Both are linked to the perpetuation of the species and therefore have a closely linked biological function of crucial evolutionary importance. Yet almost nothing is known about their neural correlates in the human. We therefore used fMRI to measure brain activity in mothers while they viewed pictures of their own and of acquainted chi...
Romantic and maternal love are highly rewarding experiences. Both are linked to the perpetuation of the species and therefore have a closely linked biological function of crucial evolutionary importance. The newly developed ability to study the neural correlates of subjective mental states with brain imaging techniques has allowed neurobiologists to learn something about the neural bases of bot...
Streptomyces silvensis produces nonribosomal peptides that act as antagonists of the human oxytocin and vasopressin receptors. Here, we present the genome sequence of S. silvensis ATCC 53525 and demonstrate that this organism possesses a number of additional biosynthetic gene clusters and might be a promising source for genome-guided drug discovery efforts.
Vasopressin receptor antagonists are a new class of drugs that address the problems of fluid retention, hyponatremia, and renal dysfunction in heart failure. Elevated vasopressin levels in heart failure cause myocardial fibrosis, hypertrophy and vasoconstriction by activating the V1a receptors, as well as water retention and hyponatremia by activating V2 receptors. Antagonism of V1a receptors a...
Binding of the peptide hormone vasopressin to its type-2 receptor (V2R) in kidney triggers a cAMP-mediated translocation of Aquaporin-2 water channels to the apical membrane, resulting in water reabsorption and thereby preventing dehydration. Mutations in the V2R gene lead to Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus (NDI), a disorder in which this process is disturbed, because the encoded, often intrinsi...
A subcellular fraction prepared from rat kidney medulla contained vasopressin-sensitive adenylate cyclase and vasopressin binding sites. Vasopressin stimulation resulted in an increase in the maximal velocity of the reaction with no change in the apparent K, for ATP. A maximum activation ratio (5 to 10) was obtained at low Mg2+ concentration (0.75 mM) and pH 7.4. The apparent Km for vasopressin...
