MelanocortinSynthetic research compound

Oxytocin Acetate

$69.99

10 mg

Oxytocin is a nonapeptide produced in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary, containing a disulfide bridge that forms its characteristic cyclic structure.

It signals through the oxytocin receptor, a Gq-coupled GPCR, and is studied in laboratory research on smooth-muscle contraction, neuroendocrine regulation, and social-behavior circuitry in preclinical models.

What you should know

More detail on Oxytocin Acetate.

Analytical values reflect per-lot documentation and appear once a batch is released.

Compound

Oxytocin's close structural relationship to vasopressin — the two differ at only two residues — creates meaningful cross-reactivity at each other's receptors, which is a recurring consideration in experimental design. Laboratory applications include calcium-mobilization assays in oxytocin-receptor-expressing lines, uterine and mammary tissue preparations, and rodent behavioral neuroscience. It is also a standard reference peptide in receptor-selectivity panels for the vasopressin/oxytocin family. Research use only.
