What is oxytocin?
Oxytocin is a cyclic nonapeptide: nine amino acids, Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2, closed into a ring by a disulfide bond between the two cysteines. Its formula is C43H66N12O12S2 and it weighs 1,007.19 g/mol.
It has a place in chemistry history. In 1953 it became the first polypeptide hormone ever made in a lab. In the body it’s produced in the hypothalamus and counts as both a neuropeptide and a hormone. Other names include alpha-hypophamine and ocytocin.

What researchers study oxytocin for
Oxytocin is one of the most studied peptide hormones, with research on social behavior, bonding and reproduction in animals. The research-grade peptide we sell is for lab use only. See NIH PubChem.
How to store oxytocin
Keep oxytocin cool, dry and away from light. The fridge at 36 to 46 °F (2 to 8 °C) is a good spot for the sealed vial.
Most labs reconstitute with Research Water, which is sterile-filtered water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol.
When it’s time to reconstitute, let the vial come to room temperature first. Add the solvent slowly down the inside wall of the vial so it doesn’t hit the powder directly, then swirl gently until the liquid is clear. Don’t shake it. Write the date on the label so you know how long it’s been mixed.
