Oxytocin is a cyclic nonapeptide (Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly) closed by a Cys1-Cys6 disulfide bridge, with a molecular weight near 1007 daltons, supplied as 4mg of lyophilized powder.
NeuropeptidesOverview
Oxytocin is a nine-residue cyclic peptide in which a disulfide bond between Cys1 and Cys6 closes a six-residue ring, leaving a three-residue tail terminating in a C-terminal glycinamide. It differs from vasopressin at two positions: isoleucine at residue 3 and leucine at residue 8.
At the oxytocin receptor, a class A G protein-coupled receptor, it acts as an agonist coupled to Gq/G11; receptor occupancy activates phospholipase C, generating inositol trisphosphate and releasing intracellular calcium in cultured cells. The lyophilized solid dissolves in water.
Mechanism of Action
Agonist at the oxytocin receptor (OXTR), a Gq/G11-coupled G protein-coupled receptor; binding activates phospholipase C, producing inositol trisphosphate and diacylglycerol and mobilizing intracellular calcium in cultured cells.
