NCIt definition : Human AVP wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 20p13 and is approximately
3 kb in length. This allele, which encodes vasopressin-neurophysin 2-copeptin protein,
is involved in the mediation of a wide variety of bodily functions. Mutations in the
gene results in autosomal dominant neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus.;
NCIt note : The AVT gene product is a precursor for arg-vasopressin, neurophysin 2, and copeptin.
