Oxytocin (2mg)

Oxytocin (10mg) Research Peptide for Social Behavior and Neuroendocrine Studies

Oxytocin (10mg) is a synthetic nonapeptide used extensively in neuroscience and behavioral science research. Known as the “bonding hormone,” Oxytocin plays a critical role in studies of social bonding, stress modulation, and neuroendocrine function across a wide range of experimental models.

Product Overview This 10mg vial of lyophilized Oxytocin Acetate is suitable for in vitro experiments examining peptide interactions with oxytocin receptors and the effects on brain signaling. It is especially relevant in research into social cognition, pair bonding, and emotional regulation pathways.

Key Research Attributes:

• Behavioral Science Utility: Frequently used in preclinical models investigating social recognition, trust, and empathy-like responses.
• Stress Response Regulation: Studied for its interaction with the HPA axis and its potential calming effect on stress-related behavior.
• Neuropeptide Activity: Binds specifically to oxytocin receptors located in the brain, reproductive tissues, and cardiovascular system.
• High Purity & Stability: Reagent-grade quality ensures reliable, reproducible results for laboratory-based research.

Applications in Scientific Research

• Social behavior and bonding mechanism studies
• Oxytocin receptor mapping and expression analysis
• Emotional response and mood regulation models
• Neuroendocrine hormone release investigations
• Stress adaptation and HPA axis feedback research

Format and Storage Form: Lyophilized powder Purity: >99% Storage: Store at -20°C in a sealed container Reconstitution: Use sterile bacteriostatic water for laboratory preparation

Oxytocin: Effects, Benefits, and Side Effects

Oxytocin is a peptide hormone and neuropeptide involved in childbirth, lactation, social bonding, stress regulation, and broader neuroendocrine signaling. Research has also explored its potential relevance in mood, appetite regulation, and selected neuropsychiatric conditions.
