• Product Overview: Native human OXT is synthetic.

Specification

• Cat. No.: OXT-5360H
• Description: HumanOXT (Pitocin/Syntocinon) stimulates uterine smooth muscle contractions indirectlyand stimulates the mammary glands to increase lactation without increasingthe production of milk.
• Form: Lyophilized from aconcentrated (1 mg/ml) solution in water containing no additives.
• Source: Synthetic
• Appearance: Sterile FilteredWhite lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
• Sequence: Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2.
• Purity: Greater than 98.0%as determined by: Analysis by RP-HPLC and Mass Spectral Analysis (MALDI-TOFexhibits correct MW).
• Storage: Lyophilized Oxytocinalthough stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccatedbelow -18°C. Upon reconstitution Oxytocin should be stored at 4°C between 2-7days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommendedto add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
• Pathways: Class A/1(Rhodopsin-like receptors); G alpha (q) signalling events; GPCR downstreamsignaling; Myometrial Relaxation and Contraction Pathways; Peptideligand-binding receptors; Signal Transduction; Signaling by GPCR;Vasopressin-like receptors
