Overview

Oxytocin is an endogenous cyclic nonapeptide hormone and neuropeptide produced primarily in the hypothalamus. In research settings, it is studied for roles in social behavior, stress-response biology, and neuroendocrine signaling.

Mechanism of Action

Oxytocin activates the oxytocin receptor, a G protein-coupled receptor that modulates intracellular calcium and downstream neuronal or smooth-muscle signaling depending on the tissue model.
