Research Overview
Nonapeptide neuropeptide produced in the hypothalamus; activates oxytocin receptors throughout the brain and peripheral tissue to regulate social bonding, trust, sexual behaviour, uterine contractions, and lactation.
Overview
Oxytocin (Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2) is a nonapeptide that acts both as a peripheral hormone affecting uterine contractility and milk ejection, and as a central neuropeptide modulating social behaviour, stress responses, and metabolic regulation. Preclinical research has established oxytocin as a pleiotropic signalling molecule with effects across the reproductive, social, and metabolic systems, making it a widely studied research tool in both neuroendocrinology and behavioural neuroscience.
