Oxytocin, a neuropeptide synthesized in the hypothalamus and secreted by the posterior pituitary, functions as both a hormone and neurotransmitter. In clinical contexts, it facilitates parturition by inducing uterine contractions and supports lactation via milk ejection. It also modulates social behaviors, enhancing trust, empathy, and bonding, which may contribute to emotional regulation and interpersonal dynamics.
Mechanism of action
Binds oxytocin receptors (OXTR) in CNS and peripheral tissues to modulate social behavior, stress responses, and neuroendocrine pathways; promotes prosocial effects and influences neurotransmitter release in behavioral and neurophysiological research models.
Lyophilized: −20°C, stable 24 months. Post-reconstitution: 4°C, use within 30 days. Protect from light.
Add 1–2 mL bacteriostatic water slowly along the vial wall. Gently swirl — do not shake. Allow 5–10 min for complete dissolution.
