Mechanism of Action
Vasopressin exerts its biological effects by binding to specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Activation of V1a and V1b receptors typically triggers phospholipase C-mediated calcium signaling, while V2 receptor activation stimulates adenylyl cyclase to increase intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels.
