Abstract excerpt
Over 20 mutations affecting the neurophysin moiety of the vasopressin prohormone, have been identified in families suffering from familial neurohypophysial diabetes insipidus (FNDI). Only one of these, NP87E-->stop, is located outside the central conserved domain implicated in sorting of the vasopressin prohormone. To obtain clues about the mechanism of induction of FNDI by this atypical mutant we stably...
