  <description>Desmopressin is a compound with the chemical formula C46H64N14O12S2. Desmopressin belongs to the amino acids, peptides, and analogues, a subclass of carboxylic acids and derivatives within the organic compounds. With an average molecular weight of 1,069 g/mol, Desmopressin is a heavy molecule.

The compound is found in or released from two recorded sources: antennas, which are classified under electrical and electronic equipment, and posterior pituitary lobe hormones, which are classified under healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and veterinary products. Desmopressin is administered through several recorded exposure routes, including oral, nasal, sublingual, subcutaneous, intravenous, and intramuscular applications.

In terms of biological activity, Desmopressin acts as an agonist for four recorded protein targets. These targets include the oxytocin receptor (OXTR) and three vasopressin receptors: the vasopressin V1a receptor (AVPR1A), the vasopressin V1b receptor (AVPR1B), and the vasopressin V2 receptor (AVPR2).</description>
