Abstract
The two most well-studied secondary messenger systems in hormone physiology are cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and calcium. In this present chapter we will describe the biochemical mechanisms in which vasopressin interacts with its V1 and V2 receptors generating, in specific cells, cAMP and/or calcium as second messengers. We will focus on two cell culture models that have been utilized to identify vasopressin signaling: the LLC-PK1 cell which contains the V2 receptor and the glomerular mesangial cell which contains the V1 receptor.
