Oxytocin

Oxytocin is a 9-amino-acid cyclic peptide with a molecular weight of 1007.2 g/mol and a disulfide bond between Cys1 and Cys6 that is critical for biological activity. The lyophilized powder maintains structural integrity including the disulfide bridge essential for receptor binding in research applications.

Research applications include social behavior neuroscience, stress response and HPA axis studies, reproductive biology, uterine contraction pharmacology, and comparative neuropeptide research. Oxytocin is used as a tool compound in receptor binding assays and behavioral pharmacology studies.

Every batch of Oxytocin is synthesized using Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) and purified via preparative HPLC to eliminate truncated sequences and synthesis byproducts. Final identity confirmation is performed via Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS), verifying exact molecular weight. Each lot ships with a Certificate of Analysis documenting purity exceeding 99%, giving researchers traceable, batch-specific verification before use in any laboratory protocol.
