Overview

Description

Oxytocin is a neuropeptide with a purity of ≥99%, supplied as a lyophilized powder for laboratory research. It has a molecular weight of 1007.2 Da and is used in studies involving social behavior, neural plasticity, and stress regulation. Stored at -20°C, this research material is available in multiple quantities.

Mechanism of Action

Oxytocin acts on the oxytocin receptor (OXTR), a class A GPCR, modulating limbic and hypothalamic circuits implicated in affiliative behavior. This review focuses on the prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) pair-bonding model, with additional translational relevance to human social-bonding research (Bosch & Young, 2018).

Research Applications

  • Pair-bonding and partner-loss models in prairie voles (PMID: 28812266)
  • Social-bonding neural circuit research, human and animal (PMC9337272)
  • Oxytocin-receptor mesolimbic dopamine interaction studies (PMID: 28812266)
