Descripción

General description

Oxytocin is a cyclic 9 amino acid peptide that differs from vasopressin in 2 amino acids. Despite the close similarities in sequence, oxytocin and vasopressin have different biological activities and bind to distinct G protein-coupled receptors. The oxytocin receptor, OT, couples primarily to Gq/11 to mobilize intracellular calcium. In female reproduction, oxytocin promotes uterine contraction and lactation; oxytocin is the most commonly used drug for induction of labor, whereas an oxytocin antagonist, atosiban, is under investigation to suppress preterm labor. Oxytocin/OT interaction in the CNS also plays an important role in stress, male and female sexual response, and sociality.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blotting in MCF7 cell lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: 0.5 µg/mL of this antibody detected Oxytocin receptor in 10 µg of MCF7 cell lysate.

Target description

~45/65 kDa observed The calculated molecular weight of this protein is 43 kDa However, this protein has been observed at ~60-70 kDa due to glycoslyatation (Zhong, M.m et al. (2012). Molecular Cancer Research. 1-25). Uncharacterized band(s) may appear in some lysates.
