Oxytocin
(Research Use Only) Oxytocin is a cyclic nonapeptide that has been described in the scientific literature as an endogenous peptide hormone produced in the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary. The material offered here is a synthetic form of oxytocin supplied as a lyophilized powder for research, laboratory, and analytical applications conducted by qualified professionals in appropriately equipped facilities. It is not a drug and is not intended for human or veterinary use, clinical applications, or any form of in‑vivo administration.
Structural Information
Oxytocin is a cyclic peptide composed of nine amino acids with a disulfide bridge, and has been characterized as a member of the neurohypophyseal peptide family. It has been widely studied as an endogenous ligand for oxytocin receptors (OXTR), a class of G‑protein‑coupled receptors, in preclinical and clinical research settings.

Intended Use and Limitations
This product is supplied for Research Use Only (RUO) and is not intended for human or animal consumption. It must not be used for diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention of any disease and must not be compounded, ingested, injected, or otherwise administered to humans or animals. Any scientific literature or background information associated with oxytocin is provided solely to describe its chemical and research characteristics and should not be interpreted as guidance for clinical use, obstetric applications, lactation support, psychiatric indications, sexual function, or other health outcomes.
Handling, Storage, and Quality
Oxytocin should be handled using standard laboratory practices appropriate for peptide reference materials, including suitable personal protective equipment and controlled laboratory conditions. Lyophilized vials should be stored according to internal laboratory protocols for peptides, typically in a cool, dry environment protected from light and moisture to help preserve material integrity prior to use.
Each lot is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) providing identity, purity, and analytical data (e.g., HPLC, mass spectrometry), allowing researchers to document material quality and suitability for their specific experimental applications. Users are responsible for ensuring that all work with this compound complies with applicable regulations, institutional policies, and ethical standards.
