Oxytocin Acetate-10mg

Oxytocin Acetate

Oxytocin Acetate is a high-purity synthetic version of the endogenous mammalian neuropeptide and hormone. Composed of nine amino acids (Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly), it is primarily synthesized in the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus. In the field of advanced endocrinology and behavioral neuroscience, Oxytocin serves as a primary tool for investigating the activation of the Oxytocin Receptor (OXTR)—a member of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family. It provides researchers with a precise experimental model to study social bonding, trust mechanisms, maternal behavior, and the regulation of smooth muscle contraction in reproductive research models.

Our Oxytocin Acetate is synthesized in an ISO 9001:2015 certified and GMP-grade manufacturing environment. By utilizing precision solid-phase synthesis and high-resolution multi-stage HPLC purification, we achieve an ultra-high chemical purity of ≥99%. This meticulous production standard ensures the peptide is free from truncated sequences and residual chemical catalysts, guaranteeing the consistency required for high-sensitivity studies involving neurotransmitter modulation and physiological stress responses.

Research Applications & Mechanisms

Neuropsychiatric & Social Behavior

Investigating the influence of Oxytocin on the amygdala and prefrontal cortex to study social recognition, pair-bonding, and anxiety-reduction signaling.

Smooth Muscle & Reproductive Biology

Researching the peptide’s role in triggering cellular calcium mobilization to study myometrial contractions and milk ejection mechanisms in lactational models.

Metabolic & Weight Regulation Research

Studying the pathways through which Oxytocin signaling influences appetite suppression and lipid metabolism in hypothalamic experimental designs.

Stress Response & Cortisol Modulation

Exploring the role of the Oxytocin system in regulating the HPA axis and its potential to mitigate the physiological markers of chronic stress.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Quality Assurance

Pharmaceutical-Grade Lyophilization

Our proprietary vacuum-sealing process ensures the Oxytocin Acetate powder surface is perfectly smooth, flat, and delicate. This uniform “cake” structure ensures rapid, clear reconstitution and maintains the molecular stability of the disulfide bond during storage.

Structural Fidelity & Purity

Every batch undergoes strict Mass Spectrometry (MS) to confirm the exact sequence and disulfide bridge integrity, ensuring maximal receptor binding affinity in experimental environments.

Reconstitution & Storage

Reconstitution Guide

• Preparation: Allow the vial to reach room temperature. Centrifuge for 30-60 seconds to ensure the Oxytocin cake is at the base.

• Solvent: Reconstitute with Sterile Water or Bacteriostatic Water.

• Technique: Gently introduce the diluent against the vial wall. DO NOT SHAKE; swirl gently until the solution is clear and transparent.

Storage Protocols

• Long-term: Store at -20°C (Maintains potency for up to 24 months).

• Short-term: Stable at 2–8°C for up to 3 months.

• Post-Reconstitution: Store at 2–8°C and utilize within 10-14 days for optimal results.

Shipping & Documentation

• Global Logistics: Shipped in discreet, temperature-controlled packaging to maintain the structural integrity of the Oxytocin peptide.

• Verified Quality: A batch-specific COA and HPLC/MS reports are available for every order.

• Reshipment Policy: We provide a guaranteed reshipment policy for any lost or customs-intercepted orders ().
