Biotin-Oxytocin – 1 mg

Overview

Introducing Biotin-Oxytocin, a highly specialized peptide that features Oxytocin (OT) tagged with Biotin at the N-terminal end. This 9-amino acid peptide is predominantly produced in the hypothalamic neurons, particularly within the magnocellular oxytocin neurons located in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei. Oxytocin is crucial, particularly during parturition and lactation, influencing various physiological processes such as uterine contractions and milk ejection. This Biotin-labeled version enhances its utility in research and diagnostic applications, offering a straightforward method for detection in assays.
