Antidiuretic hormone

Antidiuretic hormone also called vasopressin is "released by the neurohypophysis of all vertebrates (structure varies with species) to regulate water balance and osmolarity. in general, vasopressin is a nonapeptide consisting of a six-amino-acid ring with a cysteine 1 to cysteine 6 disulfide bridge or an octapeptide containing a cystine. All mammals have arginine vasopressin except the pig with a lysine at position 8. Vasopressin, a vasoconstrictor, acts on the kidney collecting ducts to increase water reabsorption, increase blood volume and blood pressure."
