Description

Oxytocin, Thr(4)-n-Meala(7)- is a synthetic, modified peptide analog of the endogenous hormone oxytocin. This engineered compound is of significant interest for advanced research in neuroendocrinology and for the development of novel therapeutic agents. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D teams, academic research institutions, and biotechnology companies focused on peptide-based drug discovery. The product is supplied under stringent quality control to ensure batch-to-batch consistency for critical applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: As a key reference standard and active material in the development of novel oxytocin receptor agonists or antagonists.
• Neurobiological Studies: For investigating the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of oxytocin analogs and their effects on social behavior, bonding, and stress response.
• Peptide Chemistry & Drug Discovery: Serving as a building block or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex peptide conjugates with enhanced stability or specificity.
• Biochemical Assay Development: Used in the calibration and validation of receptor binding assays (e.g., ELISA, radioimmunoassays) targeting the oxytocin pathway.
• Academic & Clinical Research: Supporting fundamental studies on the role of modified neuropeptides in physiological and pathological conditions.
