Human Oxytocin

OT, OXT, OT-NPI, Neurophysin 1, MGC126890, MGC126892.

Human Oxytocin stimulates uterine smooth muscle contractions indirectly and stimulates the mammary glands to increase lactation without increasing the production of milk.

Oxytocin Human Synthetic is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 9 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 1007.2 Dalton. Oxytocin has a molecular formula of C₄₃H₆₆N₁₂O₁₂S₂.
The OT is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

The Oxytocin was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with no additives.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Oxytocin in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Lyophilized Oxytocin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Neurophysin 1 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Greater than 98.0% as determined by RP-HPLC.
