-'''Neurophysins''' are carrier proteins which transport hormones from the hypothalamus to the posterior pituitary gland.  Neurophysin-1 transports oxytocin and neurophysin-2 transports vasopressin.  '''Oxytocin''' is used to start labor and increase its speed.  '''Vasopressin''' functions to retain water in the body and to constrict blood vessels.
