MeSH 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).;
