Arginine Vasopressin (AVP), also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), is a nine-amino acid peptide hormone synthesized in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary. It regulates water reabsorption in the kidneys, blood pressure through vasoconstriction, and has roles in social behavior, stress response, and circadian rhythms.

A nine-amino acid peptide (ADH) that regulates water balance, blood pressure, and social behavior.
Vasopressin differs from Oxytocin by only 2 amino acids but has distinct functions: water/BP regulation vs. social bonding/reproduction.
