Human Oxytocin Protein

Human Oxytocin

Source:

Description: Human Oxytocin(Pitocin/Syntocinon) stimulates uterine smooth muscle contractions indirectly and stimulates the mammary glands to increase lactation without increasing the production of milk. Human Oxytocin is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Formulation: Lyophilized from a concentrated (1 mg/ml) solution in water containing no additives.

Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Oxytocin in sterile 18MO-cm H2O not less than 100 g/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Stability: Lyophilized Oxytocin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 C. Upon reconstitution Oxytocin should be stored at 4 C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18 C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Purity: Greater than 98.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Mass Spectral Anaylsis (MALDI-TOF exhibits correct Mw)

Amino acid sequence: Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2.
