Introducing Oxytocin in a 10 mg concentration, a nonapeptide hormone naturally produced in the hypothalamus and secreted by the posterior pituitary gland. Oxytocin is widely studied for its role in social bonding, maternal behavior, and uterine contractility, as well as its influence on stress regulation and emotional responses. As a research peptide, Oxytocin provides valuable insights into neuroendocrine signaling and behavioral science.

Applications and Research Potential:

Oxytocin has been extensively investigated in studies of neurobiology, social behavior, and stress adaptation. Research suggests roles in modulating emotional processing, bonding, and autonomic regulation. Beyond behavioral studies, Oxytocin has been examined for its effects on smooth muscle contraction and cardiovascular function. Its diverse activity makes it a critical tool for research into neuroendocrinology, psychology, and physiology.

Handling and Storage Instructions:

Oxytocin is supplied as a lyophilized powder to maintain stability. Reconstitute under sterile conditions with bacteriostatic water. Store lyophilized peptide at –20 °C in a sealed, dry environment. After reconstitution, short-term storage at 2–8 °C is recommended. All handling should follow HSE laboratory standards.

Production and Quality Control:

Each batch of Oxytocin is produced using solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and undergoes rigorous quality control analysis. Purity and identity are verified using HPLC and mass spectrometry, ensuring consistency and reliability across research applications.

Regulatory and Safety Notes:

Oxytocin is intended for scientific research purposes only and is not suitable for human or veterinary use. Researchers must comply with institutional safety standards and applicable regulatory frameworks, including MHRA guidelines where relevant.
