Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), is synthesized primarily in the hypothalamus, specifically in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei. After its synthesis, vasopressin is transported down the axons to the posterior pituitary gland, where it is stored and released into the bloodstream in response to various physiological stimuli. This hormone plays a crucial role in regulating water balance and blood pressure in the body.
Ribosomes
Protein synthesis occurs on ribosomes found in the cell.
The site for ribosomal RNA synthesis is the nucleolus, a specialized subcompartment within the cell nucleus. It is where rRNA genes are transcribed and processed to form the ribosomal subunits, which are essential for protein synthesis in the cell.
Nucleolus
The "ribosomes".
The nucleolus is the site inside the nucleus where rRNA synthesis occurs.

vasopressin
There are actually a few other names for vasopressin. Some of these names include arginine vasopressin, antidiuretic hormone, and argipressin.

No, it is the site of cellular respiration, but the ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis.
Protein synthesis occurs on ribosomes found in the cell.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries an amino acid to the site of protein synthesis on the ribosome. Each tRNA molecule has a specific amino acid attached to it and matches with the corresponding codon on the messenger RNA (mRNA) during protein synthesis.
