Oxytocin

Product Description Oxytocin is a naturally occurring nonapeptide hormone with well-documented roles in social, reproductive, and neuroendocrine research. Supplied as ≥98% pure lyophilized powder (HPLC verified), it is designed for laboratory studies on social behavior, stress modulation, pair bonding, and central nervous system signaling pathways.

Key Research Mechanism Oxytocin acts as a neuropeptide signaling molecule that binds oxytocin receptors (OXTR) in both central and peripheral tissues. It modulates social recognition, anxiety-related pathways, reproductive behaviors, and autonomic responses. Research models examine its influence on neuronal activity, hypothalamic-pituitary signaling, and stress-related neuroendocrine regulation.

Primary Research Areas

• Social behavior, bonding, and trust-related studies
