Neurophysins

Neurofysiner

Svensk definition

Bärarproteiner för oxitocin och vasopressin. De är polypeptider med en storlek av ca 10 kDa som produceras i hypotalamus. Neurofysin I är kopplat till oxitocin och neurofysin II till vasopressin i respektive prekursor och under transport längs axonerna till neurohypofysen.

Engelsk definition

Carrier proteins for OXYTOCIN and VASOPRESSIN. They are polypeptides of about 10-kDa, synthesized in the HYPOTHALAMUS. Neurophysin I is associated with oxytocin and neurophysin II is associated with vasopressin in their respective precursors and during transportation down the axons to the neurohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, POSTERIOR).
