Phenypressin (Phe2-Arg8-vasopressin) is an oxytocin neuropeptide belonging to the vertebrae Vasopressin family.[1] It belongs to some marsupials[2] and has the poplypeptide sequence: Cys-Phe-Phe-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Arg-Gly-NH2. It has also been found to be present is some species of eastern gray kangaroos.[3]
