Description

Oxytocin, Tri-Gly- CAS NO 16639-11-5 is a synthetic tripeptide analog of the neurohormone oxytocin, specifically the N-terminal tri-glycine derivative. This compound is a critical intermediate and research tool for studying oxytocin's structure-activity relationships and developing novel peptide-based therapeutics. It is essential for pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, academic institutions, and fine chemical manufacturers focused on neuroendocrinology and peptide synthesis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of oxytocin analogs and related peptide hormones for pharmacological studies.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard and probe in receptor binding assays to understand oxytocin signaling pathways.
• Peptide Chemistry: Acts as a building block for solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis to create modified peptide sequences.
• Neuroscience Studies: Employed in research investigating the role of oxytocin fragments in social behavior, memory, and neural function.
• Diagnostic Development: Potential use in the development of immunoassays and diagnostic kits for oxytocin-related metabolic studies.
• Academic & Institutional Laboratories: A fundamental reagent for graduate-level and post-doctoral research in biochemistry and molecular biology.

Quality Control

Our Oxytocin, Tri-Gly- is produced under controlled conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency suitable for research applications. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and mass spectrometry for identity confirmation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dry environment. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the vial to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture uptake. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere.
