BIOLOGY<\/strong>
\nOxytocin is a nonapeptide (nine-amino-acid) neuropeptide hormone synthesized in the hypothalamus and released via the posterior pituitary. It acts through the oxytocin receptor, a G-protein-coupled receptor, and is a long-standing subject of neuroendocrine and behavioral neuroscience research.<\/p>\n

Oxytocin has been extensively studied in preclinical and clinical research models examining smooth-muscle physiology, social and affiliative behavior, stress response, and central nervous system signaling. Its well-characterized receptor pharmacology makes it a valuable reference tool for in-vitro receptor assays and in-vivo behavioral neuroscience experimental design.<\/p>\n

This product is intended solely for in-vitro and preclinical research use and is not for human or veterinary consumption.<\/p>\n

KEY RESEARCH APPLICATIONS OF OXYTOCIN<\/strong><\/p>\n
