Oxytocin
Oxytocin is a cyclic nonapeptide studied in controlled laboratory models involving OXTR receptor pharmacology, receptor-ligand interactions, phospholipase C signalling, intracellular calcium mobilization, and neuropeptide signalling networks.
During our packaging transition, you may receive products with either our previous or updated label. Rest assured, the formulation, purity and quality remain exactly the same as per our standards.
Oxytocin is a cyclic nonapeptide with the sequence Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH₂, characterized by an intramolecular disulfide bond connecting residues 1 and 6. Its defined peptide structure and receptor selectivity make Oxytocin a useful compound for controlled laboratory investigations involving neuropeptide signalling and receptor-ligand interactions.

Oxytocin peptide functions as an agonist at the oxytocin receptor (OXTR), a Gq/11-coupled G protein-coupled receptor. Experimental activation of OXTR is associated with phospholipase C signalling, IP3/DAG generation, and intracellular calcium mobilization. These characteristics provide researchers with a defined framework for examining relationships between peptide binding, receptor activation, and downstream intracellular signalling.
Research applications include OXTR pharmacology, receptor-ligand interaction studies, intracellular calcium signalling, phospholipase C pathway research, neuropeptide signalling networks, and peptide-mediated molecular communication. Oxytocin can also support mechanistic investigations into receptor activation dynamics and downstream signal-transduction processes under standardized experimental conditions.
Its close structural relationship to vasopressin makes Oxytocin particularly relevant to comparative research examining peptide structure, ligand binding, and receptor selectivity. Such models can help characterize how structurally related neuropeptides differ in their interactions with corresponding receptor systems.
Available in defined research formulations for controlled experimental investigations.
