What It Is

Oxytocin is a nine-amino-acid neuropeptide (a nonapeptide) supplied here as the acetate salt for stability. It is studied primarily for its mechanisms at the oxytocin receptor and its examined role in neuroendocrine signaling and social-behavior research paradigms in animal models.

How It Works

1
Oxytocin reaches the receptor environment
2
Binding at the oxytocin receptor (a G-protein-coupled receptor) is examined
3
Downstream intracellular signaling cascades are studied
4
Neuroendocrine and behavioral endpoints in animal models are evaluated

What Researchers Study It For

Oxytocin receptor (OXTR) binding and signaling research
Neuroendocrine pathway investigations
Social-behavior research paradigms (animal models)
Peptide receptor pharmacology

Common Research Protocols

Oxytocin acetate is supplied as a lyophilized powder and reconstituted with bacteriostatic water. In research it is examined for receptor-binding characteristics and, in animal-model studies, for effects on neuroendocrine and behavioral endpoints.

Community Interest Areas

Oxytocin is one of the most studied neuropeptides in neuroscience research and draws sustained interest for its examined role in social-behavior paradigms and neuroendocrine signaling. It is frequently investigated in receptor-pharmacology research.

9 Amino Acids Nonapeptide neurohormone supplied as the acetate salt
