Oxytocin 2 mg
Oxytocin 2mg - a cyclic nonapeptide studied for OXTR binding, GPCR signaling and smooth muscle contractility in tissue preparations.
Research Use Only:This compound is intended exclusively for in vitro laboratory research applications. Not for human or veterinary consumption.
Oxytocin 2 mg research overview
Oxytocin is a cyclic nonapeptide synthesised in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary. Structurally it differs from vasopressin at only two residues, and that near-identity is itself a research subject: the two peptides show meaningful cross-reactivity at each other's receptors, so selectivity control is a standard requirement in any binding study involving either.
The oxytocin receptor is a class A G-protein coupled receptor signaling primarily through Gq and phospholipase C, with downstream calcium mobilisation. Laboratory work uses oxytocin to study that cascade directly, and separately to study smooth muscle contractility in isolated tissue preparations, where it is one of the standard reference agonists. A large behavioural literature examines its role in social recognition and pair bonding in animal models, and a smaller one examines receptor distribution and density across tissue types.
This listing supplies 2mg of lyophilized peptide. Oxytocin is sensitive to oxidation at the disulfide bridge and to adsorption onto plastic surfaces at low concentration, so glass or low-binding labware is generally preferred for dilute working solutions. It is stocked with the neuropeptide research compounds, alongside DSIP, Semax and Selank. Store refrigerated at 2-8 degrees Celsius. For in vitro laboratory research only. Not for human or veterinary use.

Questions about this listing
- What form does Oxytocin 2 mg come in?
Lyophilized Powder The size options listed on this page — 2mg — are what is available, and the vial labelling shown in the product images above is the reference for what a vial contains.
- How should Oxytocin 2 mg be stored?
Refrigerate at 2-8°C. Use low-binding or glass labware for dilute solutions. Storage requirements differ across the catalog — some listings are refrigerated, others held at -20°C, others at room temperature — so read this row rather than assuming from a neighbouring product.
- Does Savage Labs supply a diluent for Oxytocin 2 mg?
Bacteriostatic water is stocked separately in 3mL and 10mL vials. Savage Labs does not specify a reconstitution volume, a working concentration, or a basis for calculating either — those are determined by the protocol the material is used in, not by this catalog.
- What does the 99%+ figure on this listing mean?
It is the purity reported for this material. It is a reported value rather than one Savage Labs has independently verified for the lot you receive, and it does not describe net peptide content. How peptide purity is reported and net peptide content cover what the number does and does not tell you.
- What documentation is available for Oxytocin 2 mg?
Batch-specific certificates of analysis and test methods on request. Confirm that any report matches the lot you intend to order — reading a peptide certificate of analysis covers which field answers which question. Ask about documentation for this listing, or see the full FAQ for ordering, shipping and returns.
- What else is grouped with Oxytocin 2 mg?
It is catalogued under Cognitive, where the category page describes what separates the compounds in the group.
Ordering, payment, shipping and returns are answered on the full FAQ.
