Neuropeptide Hormone · Nonapeptide Research Compound
Neuropeptide hormone. Studied in prosocial behavior pathway models, neuroendocrine function, and oxytocin receptor signaling.
Oxytocin is a nonapeptide neurohormone synthesized in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary. It acts via the oxytocin receptor (OTR) expressed in brain, uterus, and peripheral tissues. Research applications include prosocial and affiliative behavior pathway studies, pain modulation models, neuroinflammation research, and HPA axis interaction studies.
Store lyophilized at −20°C. Reconstituted: 2–8°C, use within 3–4 weeks.
