What is Oxytocin?

Oxytocin is a naturally occurring nonapeptide with an internal disulfide bridge, synthesized in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary. It is one of the most extensively studied neuropeptides, and synthetic oxytocin is also the active ingredient in approved medicines used clinically to support labor and manage postpartum bleeding, giving it a well-established pharmacological profile.

How it is understood to work

Oxytocin acts on the oxytocin receptor (OXTR), a G-protein-coupled receptor expressed in the uterus, mammary gland, and multiple brain regions. Receptor activation triggers smooth-muscle contraction peripherally and modulates neural circuits involved in social recognition, trust, and stress reactivity centrally, which is the basis for its use in both reproductive and behavioral neuroscience research.

Research status

Oxytocin is a major subject of social neuroscience research, including studies of bonding, empathy, and anxiety-related behavior, alongside its long-established role in reproductive physiology research on labor and lactation. Its receptor pharmacology and physiological actions are well characterized relative to many peptides, though behavioral effects in humans remain an active and sometimes debated area of study.

Specifications

Compound: Oxytocin
Class: Nonapeptide neurohormone
Form: Lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder
Per vial: 10mg
Molecular formula: C43H66N12O12S2
Molecular weight: 1007.19 g/mol
Stated purity: 99%

Handling & storage

Supplied as a lyophilized powder; store unopened vials at -20C protected from light, and keep reconstituted solution refrigerated, since oxytocin’s disulfide bond and short peptide backbone make it susceptible to degradation at room temperature.

Concentration check: adding 2 ml of bacteriostatic water to one 10 mg vial gives 5 mg/ml. The Research Lab calculator in your dashboard works this out for any volume.

Questions

Is this the same oxytocin used clinically to induce labor?

It is the same nonapeptide molecule, but this research-grade material is supplied strictly for laboratory study and is not manufactured, formulated, or labeled as the approved clinical injection.

Why are there both Acetate and non-Acetate listings?

Oxytocin acetate refers to the salt form in which the peptide is stabilized during synthesis; the acetate counterion improves powder stability and is standard for lyophilized peptide preparations of this kind.

How much Oxytocin is in this kit?

10 vials of 10 mg each, so 100 mg in total. The lab testing section above shows what the brand’s tested vial actually contained.
