Oxytocin 2mg

Oxytocin 2mg from Peptira is 2mg of Oxytocin in a sealed glass vial. Oxytocin is a neuropeptide hormone. It’s intended for lab research only.

About Oxytocin

Oxytocin is a nine-amino-acid hormone made in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary. It controls uterine contraction and milk release, and acts in the brain on social behavior.

Synthetic oxytocin is an approved obstetric drug.

How Oxytocin acts in the lab

Oxytocin acts on the oxytocin receptor, a G-protein coupled receptor found in the uterus, breast tissue and many brain regions.

In the body it triggers contractions and milk letdown. In the brain it’s involved in social recognition, bonding and stress responses, which is what most current research is about.

Published Oxytocin studies

Intranasal oxytocin has been widely studied for social cognition, with mixed and debated results.

Kosfeld and colleagues’ 2005 Nature paper on trust is one of the best-known studies.

Oxytocin compared with similar compounds

Here’s how Oxytocin 2mg fits among related compounds. Oxytocin is the nine-amino-acid hormone behind labor, milk release and social bonding. By comparison:

• PT-141 is a melanocortin agonist derived from Melanotan II, acting on MC4 receptors in the brain
• Kisspeptin sits at the top of the reproductive axis and triggers GnRH release

These three act on separate hormone systems in the brain: melanocortin receptors, the kisspeptin receptor that controls GnRH, and the oxytocin receptor. See them all on our hormone peptides page.

Checking your Oxytocin 2mg

Peptira labels each Oxytocin 2mg vial with the compound and the amount. Labs that file batch documentation should ask our support team about the current batch before ordering.

If you verify incoming material yourself, the standard methods are HPLC for purity and mass spectrometry for identity. HPLC splits the sample and reports the main peak as a percentage, while mass spec confirms that peak has the right molecular weight.

Keep a record of which vial went into which experiment. Matching results to material is the simplest way to rule it out when an experiment doesn’t behave.

How to reconstitute Oxytocin 2mg

The amount of liquid you add sets the concentration. For a vial holding 2mg:

• 1mL of bacteriostatic water gives 2mg/mL
• 2mL of bacteriostatic water gives 1mg/mL

Go with whichever number is easiest to work with in your protocol, and label the vial with the concentration and the date you mixed it.

Bacteriostatic water is the usual choice, and acetic acid helps with peptides that won’t dissolve in water alone. Add it slowly so it runs down the side of the vial, then swirl or roll until everything dissolves. Shaking can shear peptide chains. Skip it.

Oxytocin 2mg storage and shelf life

Store sealed vials of Oxytocin 2mg in the freezer at -20°C, out of direct light. Mixed solution goes in the fridge at 2 to 8°C and should be used within about 28 days.

Running several vials at once? Our 10 vial kit case holds up to ten vials upright in separate wells under a clear lid, which keeps a fridge shelf tidy and the labels easy to read.

How many Oxytocin 2mg vials do you need?

Work out the total amount before you order. Add up what each arm of the study uses across every time point, then divide by 2mg. Round up by one vial so a spoiled sample or a repeat run doesn’t stall the project.

Mix one vial at a time and keep the rest sealed in the freezer. Dry powder keeps far longer than solution, so there’s no reason to reconstitute everything at the start.

If you order more than one vial, check that the batch numbers match before you start. Running a whole study on one batch removes one variable.
