Description

Oxytocin, β-Mercapto-Beta,β-Cyclopentamethylenepropionic Acid-Tr Yptophyl(2)-Phenylalanyl(3)-Isoleucyl(4)-Arginine(8)- is a synthetic, modified peptide analog of the neurohypophysial hormone oxytocin, designed for enhanced stability and research utility. This compound is critical for advanced biochemical and pharmacological studies, particularly where resistance to enzymatic degradation is required. It serves as a valuable tool for researchers in neuroscience, endocrinology, and peptide chemistry investigating receptor-ligand interactions and signaling pathways.

Application

• Neuroscience Research: Used as a stable analog to study the role of oxytocin in social behavior, bonding, stress response, and neural circuitry.
• Endocrinology Studies: Employed in receptor binding assays and functional studies to understand oxytocin receptor (OTR) activation and downstream effects.
• Peptide Chemistry & Drug Discovery: Serves as a reference standard or a lead compound in the development of novel therapeutic agents targeting the oxytocin pathway.
• Biochemical Assay Development: Utilized in the calibration and validation of analytical methods such as HPLC and mass spectrometry for peptide quantification.
• Academic & Pharmaceutical R&D: A key reagent for fundamental research into uterine contraction, lactation, and potential treatments for conditions like autism spectrum disorder or postpartum depression.

Quality Control

Our high-purity peptide products are manufactured under controlled conditions and undergo rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay purity, related substances, and residual solvents. We adhere to stringent quality management principles suitable for research and development applications.

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) and easily oxidized; for long-term storage, it is recommended to keep the container under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen. Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
