Oxytocin Acetate — molecular reference
Oxytocin Acetate is the synthetic acetate salt of oxytocin, a nine-amino-acid neuropeptide hormone involved in social bonding, parturition, and lactation signaling. In research settings it is used in oxytocin-receptor binding assays, uterine smooth-muscle contractility models, and neuronal culture studies of neuropeptide signaling. Supplied as a sterile lyophilized powder for reconstitution. For laboratory research use only.
