Oxytocin ELISA Kit, Universal

Description

Oxytocin is a neuropituitary peptide, produced in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. The molecule consists of nine amino acids, which are connected to [1-6] disulfide bonds and a semi-flexible carboxyl amidated tail. Once considered to be a hormone limited to the physiology and neurotransmitter of female smooth muscle reproduction, recent studies have begun to study the role of oxytocin in various behaviors, including orgasm, social recognition, pairing, anxiety, and maternal behavior. Very important in male reproductive physiology. Oxytocin and related neuropituitary peptide Arg8-vasopressin can maintain the balance of renal water and sodium. Our Oxytocin ELISA kit is a competitive ELISA method for quantitative determination of oxytocin in extracted serum and plasma or urine, extracted dried stool samples and tissue culture media samples.
This ELISA kit is used for quantitative measurement of human total Oxytocin in extracted serum, Plasma, Saliva, Clarified Milk, and Tissue Culture Media
