Description
Oxytocin is a naturally occurring cyclic nonapeptide hormone. Sequence: Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2, cyclized via a Cys1-Cys6 disulfide bridge. Molecular formula: C43H66N12O12S2; molecular weight: 1007.19 g/mol; CAS 50-56-6.
Research on oxytocin has examined its agonism at the oxytocin receptor (OXTR), downstream intracellular calcium signaling, and its role in neuroendocrine communication pathways studied in cell culture, animal, and behavioral neuroscience models.
Supplied as a lyophilized powder for reconstitution, each batch is analyzed by HPLC to confirm purity and identity.
For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use, and not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic application.
