About Oxytocin
- Residues
- 9
- Molecular weight
- 1007.2 g/mol
- CAS number
- 50-56-6
Oxytocin is a nine-residue cyclic neuropeptide, closed by a Cys1-Cys6 disulfide and carrying a C-terminal amide. In research it is used as an agonist of the oxytocin receptor, a G-protein-coupled receptor, and as a tool for probing social-behaviour and smooth-muscle signalling in cell and animal models.
For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
