Oxytocin Acetate

Description

Oxytocin is a nine-amino-acid neuropeptide hormone, produced in the hypothalamus and long studied for its roles in social bonding, stress-response modulation, and smooth-muscle contraction. Its research applications span neuroscience and endocrinology more broadly than most single-pathway peptides in this catalogue, reflecting its unusually wide receptor distribution across brain and peripheral tissue.

Current research extends beyond its classical reproductive and lactation roles into social-cognition and anxiety models, making oxytocin a frequently cited reference compound in behavioural neuroscience as well as classic endocrinology research.

For laboratory research use only. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water and store refrigerated, protected from light.
