Oxytocin

Oxytocin is a naturally occurring cyclic peptide hormone composed of nine amino acids. Its sequence is Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly (CYIQNCPLG), with a disulfide bridge connecting the two cysteine residues at positions 1 and 6.

As a well-characterized nonapeptide, oxytocin is studied in laboratory settings involving peptide chemistry, receptor interactions, molecular signaling, and related biochemical pathways. Its compact cyclic structure and defined molecular properties make it a useful reference compound for controlled scientific investigation.

This Oxytocin product is supplied as research material for laboratory, biochemical, and analytical applications.
