Description

Oxytocin, 1-Deaminopenicillamine- CAS NO 6663-74-7 is a synthetic analogue of the neuropeptide hormone oxytocin, specifically modified at the first amino acid position. This modification confers distinct receptor binding and metabolic stability properties, making it a critical tool for advanced biochemical and pharmacological research. It is essential for researchers and developers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors who are investigating neuroendocrine pathways, developing novel therapeutics, or studying peptide structure-activity relationships.

Application

• Pharmacological Research: Used as a reference standard and active agent in studies of oxytocin and vasopressin receptor subtypes (OTR, V1aR, V1bR, V2R).
• Drug Discovery & Development: Serves as a key intermediate or lead compound for designing new peptide-based therapeutics targeting social behavior, lactation, and uterine contraction.
• Biochemical Assays: Employed in competitive binding assays, functional cell-based assays (e.g., calcium flux, reporter gene), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) to study receptor-ligand interactions.
• Neuroscience Studies: Applied in experimental models to investigate the role of oxytocin pathways in social cognition, stress response, pair bonding, and maternal behavior.
• Peptide Chemistry: Used as a model compound for studying peptide stability, degradation pathways, and the effects of specific amino acid substitutions.
• Veterinary Medicine Research: Investigated for potential applications in animal reproduction and behavioral management.
