oxytocin free acid

Oxytocin free acid, also known as 9-Deamidooxytocin, is an analog of oxytocin where the glycinamide residue at position 9 has been substituted with a glycine residue. Oxytocin, a pleiotropic peptide hormone, has wide-ranging implications for general health, adaptation, development, reproduction, and social behavior.

Oxytocin (Syntocinon) is a mammalian neuropituitary hormone, a pleiotropic hypothalamic peptide and ligand for the oxytocin receptor, which contributes to labor, lactation, and pro-social behavior. Oxytocin has the ability to stimulate mammary secretion of breast milk, promote contraction of uterine smooth muscle during labor, and facilitate mothering.

Oxytocin acetate (α-Hypophamine acetate) is a mammalian neurohypophysial hormone, a ligand of oxytocin receptor.
