Key Product Features
- Research-Grade Purity: Each batch is verified via HPLC and Mass Spectrometry to ensure ≥99% purity for reproducible laboratory studies.
- Cyclic Peptide Stability: Prepared as a vacuum-sealed, lyophilized powder to maintain the integrity of the critical disulfide bridge.
- Laboratory Use Focused: Designed strictly for in vitro and analytical research on receptor binding, signaling pathways, and CNS activity.
Mechanism of Action (Research Context)
Oxytocin is studied for its interactions with Oxytocin Receptors (OXTR) in controlled laboratory settings:
- Receptor Binding Activity: Investigates G-protein coupled receptor interactions in neuronal models.
- Neurochemical Pathway Research: Applied in studies examining the modulation of neurotransmitter systems and neuropeptide signaling.
- Cellular and CNS Applications: Used in in vitro models for examining peptide-mediated effects on cellular activity and neuronal signaling.
Research FAQ
What are the storage and stability requirements?
- Lyophilized Powder: Store at 2–8°C for short-term use or at -20°C for long-term preservation (up to 24 months).
- Reconstituted Solution: Keep refrigerated at 2–8°C and use within 28 days under controlled laboratory conditions.
What is the recommended reconstitution procedure?
- Solvent: Bacteriostatic Water or Sterile 0.9% Saline
- Standard Dilution (for laboratory preparation):
- Add 2mL of solvent for a 2mg vial to achieve 1mg/mL solution
- Handling: Slowly add solvent along the vial wall and gently swirl until dissolved. Do not shake to preserve the disulfide bond.
