AVP Crystals

Brief Intro

AVP Crystals refer to crystalline forms of arginine vasopressin (AVP), a peptide hormone also known as antidiuretic hormone. AVP plays a crucial role in regulating water retention in the kidneys by forming signaling complexes with vasopressin receptors such as V2R. Crystallized AVP is used primarily for structural biology studies, including X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy, to elucidate its molecular interactions and receptor binding mechanisms. These crystals are intended exclusively for scientific research and analytical purposes.

Chemical Structure / Physical Properties

Intended Use

AVP Crystals are intended strictly for laboratory research, including structural biology, pharmacological studies, and receptor-ligand interaction analysis. They are not for human consumption. Researchers use AVP crystals to study hormone-receptor binding, signaling complex formation, and to aid drug design targeting vasopressin receptors.

Packaging & Shipping

AVP Crystals are securely packaged under conditions preserving peptide stability and shipped with tracking. Delivery times vary by destination, typically within 3–7 business days internationally. Shipping conditions ensure maintenance of crystal integrity.

Legal & Compliance Disclaimer

All products are sold for research purposes only and are not intended for human consumption. Customers must verify the legal status of AVP and related peptides in their jurisdiction before ordering. The vendor reserves the right to accept or decline orders based on intended use.
