Oxytocin 10mg (6000 IU) is a research vial of the nine-amino-acid neuropeptide hormone, supplied by Peptide Sciences for neuroscience and reproductive-biology research.
Oxytocin Research Overview
Oxytocin is produced in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary. Its classic functions include uterine contraction and milk ejection, but much current research looks at its role in social bonding, trust, stress response and anxiety in animal models. Its receptor, OXTR, is studied throughout the brain and peripheral tissues.

Research Considerations
Oxytocin is sensitive to heat and oxidation, so researchers typically aliquot reconstituted material and keep it refrigerated. Receptor studies often include atosiban or vasopressin as comparators, since oxytocin shows cross-reactivity with vasopressin V1a receptors.
Quality Control, COA and Shipping
Quality documentation matters for reproducible research. Every vial is traceable to a lot number, every lot carries an HPLC chromatogram and mass-spectrometry report, and orders are dispatched quickly from the USA in discreet, temperature-protected packaging.
