Oxytocin Acetate – Cyclic Nonapeptide | Research Use Only

Oxytocin acetate is the acetate salt form of the synthetic nonapeptide oxytocin, a neurohypophysial hormone and hypothalamic neuropeptide. In research literature, oxytocin functions as a ligand for the oxytocin receptor (OXTR), a G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR).

This material represents the salt form of oxytocin and is supplied strictly for laboratory developmental research use only. It is not intended for human or veterinary consumption.
