Official Symbol:	AVP
NCBI Gene ID:	551
Content / Scale:	ADH ARVP AVP-NPII AVRP VP
Official Full Name:	arginine vasopressin
Species:	human
Summary:	This gene encodes a member of the vasopressin/oxytocin family and preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products. These products include the neuropeptide hormone arginine vasopressin, and two other peptides, neurophysin 2 and copeptin. Arginine vasopressin is a posterior pituitary hormone that is synthesized in the supraoptic nucleus and paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus. Along with its carrier protein, neurophysin 2, it is packaged into neurosecretory vesicles and transported axonally to the nerve endings in the neurohypophysis where it is either stored or secreted into the bloodstream. The precursor is thought to be activated while it is being transported along the axon to the posterior pituitary. Arginine vasopressin acts as a growth factor by enhancing pH regulation through acid-base transport systems. It has a direct antidiuretic action on the kidney, and also causes vasoconstriction of the peripheral vessels. This hormone can contract smooth muscle during parturition and lactation. It is also involved in cognition, tolerance, adaptation and complex sexual and maternal behaviour, as well as in the regulation of water excretion and cardiovascular functions. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal dominant neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (ADNDI). This gene is present in a gene cluster with the related gene oxytocin on chromosome 20.

Buy a siPOOL (siRNA Pool) for AVP

Order a complex pool of 30 siRNAs (siPOOL) for the specific gene knockdown of human gene AVP.

Product Description:

siPOOLs (siRNA pools) are high complexity pools of 30 optimally selected siRNAs designed to specifically knock-down the target gene of your choice.

Why 30 siRNAs?

Using 30 siRNAs at a picomolar concentration dilutes and significantly minimizes the off-target effects of each siRNA, therefore highly increasing the on-target specificity. On the other hand, individual siRNAs or low complexity siRNA pools containing only 2-4 siRNAs often display dominant off-target profiles and exhibit variable target gene knock-downs.

Product Formats:

• Individual siPOOLs: a pool of 30 distinct siRNAs provided as a single reagent
• siPOOL kits: include an individual siPOOL and a standard negative control

As reaction numbers depend on transfection efficiencies and well/plate format used, please refer to our FAQ section or siPOOL transfection protocol for more information.
