Oxytocin – 2 mg Lyophilized Vial (Research Use Only)
Synthetic Neuropeptide for In Vitro Laboratory Studies
Product Overview
Oxytocin is a synthetic neuropeptide analog structurally identical to the naturally occurring human hormone involved in cellular signaling and receptor-ligand interaction. Supplied as a high-purity lyophilized powder, this compound is intended strictly for use in controlled laboratory environments investigating peptide activity, signal transduction, and receptor modulation under non-clinical conditions.

Research Applications
Oxytocin is commonly utilized in:
- Neuropeptide Receptor Binding Assays: Evaluation of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) activity and specificity
- Signal Transduction Studies: Mapping of intracellular response pathways initiated by peptide-receptor interaction
- In Vitro Neuroendocrine Research: Investigations of peptide effects on cellular models under controlled stimuli
- Peptide-Driven Cellular Modulation: Used in assay systems measuring gene expression, protein activation, or feedback signaling
All applications are non-clinical and strictly investigational.
Handling & Use
- Reconstitute using aseptic technique in a certified laboratory
- Avoid shaking or vortexing the solution to prevent peptide degradation
- Label reconstituted vials with date and concentration
- Use freshly prepared solutions or aliquot and store per institutional SOPs
- Prevent exposure to excessive heat or freeze–thaw cycles
