Explore: Neurophysins

Neurophysins are carrier proteins which transport the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin to the posterior pituitary from the paraventricular and supraoptic

hydrophobic amino acids and undergo analogous binding to neurophysins. The amino acid sequence of Neurophysin I is: NH2 - Ala - Ala - Pro - Asp - Leu - Asp - Val

are hydrophobic amino acids and undergo analogous binding to neurophysins. Neurophysin II is a dimer with each monomer consisting of two anti-parallel

contains ATP and a type of neurophysin. Neurophysins are binding proteins, of which there are two types: neurophysin I and neurophysin II, which bind to oxytocin

carrier protein neurophysin I. The inactive precursor protein is progressively hydrolyzed into smaller fragments (one of which is neurophysin I) via a series
