'''Neurophysins''' are carrier proteins which transport hormones from the hypothalamus to the posterior pituitary gland. Neurophysin-1 transports oxytocin and neurophysin-2 transports vasopressin. '''Oxytocin''' is used to start labor and increase its speed. '''Vasopressin''' functions to retain water in the body and to constrict blood vessels. | '''Neurophysins''' are carrier proteins which transport hormones from the hypothalamus to the posterior pituitary gland.
