OXYTOCIN | 10mg | Neuropeptide Hormone

For In Vitro Research Use Only — Not for Human or Veterinary Use

Description:

Oxytocin primarily binds to the oxytocin receptor (OXTR), a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) found in the uterus, mammary glands, brain, and other tissues. It activates Gq-mediated calcium signaling for contractions and neural modulation (e.g., social bonding). Oxytocin also has lower affinity for vasopressin receptors (V1a, V1b, V2), potentially influencing vasoconstriction or stress responses, though OXTR is its primary target.

This vial contains 10mg of lyophilized Oxytocin hormone peptide, intended for advanced laboratory study.

Specifications:

  • Unit Size: 10mg (lyophilized powder, single vial)

  • Sequence: Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH

  • Molecular Formula: C₄₃H₆₆N₁₂O₁₂S₂

  • Molecular Weight: ~1007.19 Da

  • Form: Crystalline lyophilized peptide

  • Solubility: Soluble in sterile water or compatible aqueous buffers

  • Storage: Store dry at 2°C–8°C in a sealed container.

Application Context:
Oxytocin is studied in vitro for its potential roles in:

  • Receptor Binding: Oxytocin binds OXTR with high affinity (Kd ~1–10 nM), activates Gq pathways; weaker binding to vasopressin receptors (V1a, V1b, V2).

  • Uterine Effects: Induces contractions in myometrial cells via calcium release; desensitization occurs with prolonged exposure.

  • Neuronal Effects: Enhances excitability and neuroprotection in hypothalamic/cortical neurons.

Intended Use:
This compound is intended strictly for in vitro laboratory research. It is not approved for human or animal administration and must not be used in food, dietary supplements, cosmetics, or pharmaceuticals.
