ADH, also called ''arginine vasopressin (AVP)'' is a peptide [[Hormones - Anatomy & Physiology|hormone]] produced by cell bodies in the ''Paraventricular and Supraoptic nuclei'' of the [[Hypothalamus - Anatomy & Physiology|hypothalamus]]. It is transported down axons into the posterior pituitary for storage, prior to release. It is derived from a preprohormone which is converted to the active form enroute to the posterior pituitary gland. It acts on the [[Kidney Nephron - Anatomy & Physiology|renal tubules]] and blood vessels.
