Description

Vasotocin, 1-(β-Mercaptopropanoic Acid)-8-Arg-9-(4-Aminorhodaminyl-Phe)- is a synthetic, modified peptide analog of the neurohypophysial hormone vasotocin. This compound is of significant interest in advanced biochemical and pharmacological research due to its specific structural modifications, which are designed to enhance stability, receptor binding affinity, or introduce fluorescent properties for detection. It serves as a critical research tool for scientists in neuroendocrinology, comparative physiology, and drug discovery, particularly for studying vasopressin/oxytocin receptor systems and developing novel diagnostic or therapeutic agents.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a high-purity reference standard in studies of vasotocin and vasopressin receptor binding, signaling pathways, and hormone metabolism.
• Neuroendocrinology: A key tool for investigating the role of neurohypophysial hormones in physiological processes such as osmoregulation, social behavior, and stress response across species.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a lead compound or intermediate in the research and development of novel peptide-based therapeutics targeting G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).
• Diagnostic Probe Development: The modified structure, particularly the 4-Aminorhodaminyl-Phe moiety, suggests potential use in developing fluorescent probes or assays for receptor localization and activity studies.
• Comparative Physiology: Essential for research comparing the function and evolution of the vasopressin/oxytocin hormone family in non-mammalian vertebrates.
• Peptide Chemistry Studies: Used as a model compound in methodological development for peptide synthesis, modification, stabilization, and analysis.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dry environment. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container should be allowed to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere.
