Oxytocin Acetate at 5mg dosage provides a higher-capacity formulation for extended neuroendocrine research programs. Supplied as lyophilized powder, this formulation accommodates complex behavioral studies, multi-endpoint neuroendocrine investigations, and parallel oxytocin receptor pharmacology assays in diverse model systems.

Chemical/Compound Information:

• Chemical Name: Oxytocin Acetate Salt
• Molecular Formula: C43H66N12O12S2
• Molecular Weight: 1007.18 g/mol
• Compound Class: Neurohormone Peptide / GPCR Ligand

The 5mg quantity supports longitudinal behavioral neuroscience studies and facilitates development of standardized oxytocin receptor assay protocols. This formulation enables comparative investigation of oxytocin signaling across multiple brain regions and examination of receptor density changes during behavioral paradigms.

Research Applications:

• Oxytocin receptor expression profiling across brain regions in social/non-social contexts
• Behavioral neuroscience paradigms: social approach, pair bonding, parental behavior
• Oxytocin receptor internalization and trafficking in response to agonist exposure
• Multi-neurotransmitter interactions: oxytocin + dopamine/serotonin/glutamate signaling
• Species comparative studies: rodent vs. primate oxytocin receptor phylogeny

Storage and Handling:

• Store at -20°C in sealed light-protected vial with desiccant
• Prepare single-use aliquots immediately upon receipt to ensure long-term stability
• Reconstitute in sterile physiological saline or culture medium immediately before use
• Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles; maintain inert (N2) headspace in storage vial
• Use reconstituted solutions within 4 hours to preserve full neuroendocrine activity
