Oxytocin 2mg

Oxytocin is a cyclic nonapeptide, a nine-amino-acid neurohypophyseal hormone first sequenced and synthesized in the early 1950s. Structurally it consists of the sequence Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2, closed into a ring by a disulfide bridge between the two cysteine residues and terminating in a glycinamide. Endogenously produced in the hypothalamus and released via the posterior pituitary, the synthetic peptide supplied here is manufactured for in-vitro and laboratory research applications.

In preclinical and animal studies, oxytocin has been investigated extensively for its role in social and affiliative behavior. Rodent work, particularly using the socially monogamous prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster), has examined how central oxytocin and oxytocin-receptor agonism relate to pair-bond formation, maternal behavior, and prosocial responses. Additional preclinical literature has explored its observed involvement in stress-axis modulation and anxiolytic-type responses in animal models. In reproductive-biology research it has long served as a model agonist of the oxytocin receptor in studies of uterine and mammary smooth-muscle physiology. All of these observations derive from controlled laboratory and animal investigations and are reported here strictly as research findings, not as effects in humans.
