Oxytocin Acetate 5mg
Oxytocin Acetate is the acetate salt of oxytocin, a naturally occurring cyclic nonapeptide that signals through the single G protein-coupled receptor OXTR. Jurek and Neumann (2018, Physiological Reviews) documented OXTR-coupled signaling cascades across published reproduction and social-behavior research. Kenkel et al. (2019, Hormones and Behavior) examined oxytocin receptor density in a prairie vole pair-bonding model. For Research Use Only. Not for human consumption.

Description
About this peptide
About This Compound
Oxytocin Acetate is the acetate salt of oxytocin, a naturally occurring cyclic nonapeptide synthesized in the hypothalamus and released via the posterior pituitary. It signals through a single G protein-coupled receptor, OXTR, which couples to Gαi and Gαq cascades including MAPK, PKC, PLC, and CaMK pathways. The way a lock accepts only one key, OXTR is the sole receptor through which oxytocin's documented research effects are mediated across a wide range of tissues and species.
Research Context
Jurek and Neumann (2018, Physiological Reviews) documented OXTR-coupled intracellular signaling cascades and their association with behavioral outcomes across published research spanning reproduction, social behavior, and brain circuits linked to anxiety and stress responses in the reviewed literature. Kenkel et al. (2019, Hormones and Behavior) examined oxytocin and vasopressin receptor density across repeated pair-bond formation in prairie voles, a widely used animal model for social monogamy research. Park and Heffern (2026, European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry) reviewed how divalent metal ions — copper, zinc, magnesium, and calcium — modulate oxytocin's conformational structure and receptor-binding behavior at the molecular level.

Shipping & Storage
Handling this material
Shipping
Orders ship within 24 hours. Delivered via USPS Priority or standard FedEx unless expedited shipping is selected at checkout. Tracking is emailed on dispatch and mirrored in your account.
In-transit handling
Lyophilized vials are shelf-stable and ship at ambient temperature. Storage in our warehouse is cooled; shipment does not require refrigeration.
Long-term storage
Lyophilized vials are shelf-stable at ambient temperature; refrigeration (2–8°C) extends shelf life. Refer to the batch-specific Certificate of Analysis for material-specific storage guidance. Once reconstituted, follow the storage instructions on the batch COA. Not for human or animal consumption.
Returns
Because these are research-grade biologics, we cannot accept returns on opened vials. Damaged-in-transit shipments are replaced at no cost within 7 days of delivery.
