Description
Oxytocin (Syntocinon) is a hypothalamic peptide hormone that acts on the oxytocin receptor to induce uterine contractions during labor and stimulate milk ejection. It is widely used in research on parturition, lactation, and social bonding, employing both in vitro receptor studies and in vivo behavioral models.

Chemical Information

Oxytocin

Oxytocin is a cyclic nonapeptide hormone with amino acid sequence CYIQNCPLG that also acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain; the principal uterine-contracting and milk-ejecting hormone of the posterior pituitary. Together with the neuropeptide vasopressin, it is believed to influence social cognition and behaviour. It has a role as a vasodilator agent and an oxytocic. It is a heterodetic cyclic peptide and a peptide hormone.
