The arginine vasopressin gene (AVP) is a gene whose product is proteolytically cleaved to produce vasopressin (also known as antidiuretic hormone or ADH), neurophysin II, and a glycoprotein called copeptin. AVP and other AVP-like peptides are found in mammals, as well as mollusks, arthropods, nematodes, and other invertebrate species.^[5] In humans, AVP is present on chromosome 20 and plays a role in homeostatic regulation. The products of AVP have many functions that include vasoconstriction, regulating the balance of water in the body, and regulating responses to stress.^[6] Expression of AVP is regulated by the transcription translation feedback loop (TTFL), which is an important part of the circadian system that controls the expression of clock genes. AVP has important implications in the medical field as its products have significant roles throughout body.
