MSH: 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).,CSP: group of soluble proteins derived from the precursors of vasopressin, oxytocin and related hormones, secreted in hypothalmus; serve as binding proteins for vasopressin and oxytocin and may contribute to hormone storage and transport.
