Peptides

Oxytocin (α-Hypophamine) is a mammalian neurohypophysial hormone; its actions are mediated by specific, high-affinity oxytocin receptors; ligand of oxytocin receptor.

Oxytocin (α-Hypophamine) acetate is a pleiotropic, hypothalamic peptide known for facilitating parturition, lactation, and prosocial behaviors. Oxytocin acetate can function as a stress-coping molecule with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and protective effects especially in the face of adversity or trauma.

des-Gln14-Ghrelin is a second endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor. a). des-Gln14-ghrelin potently induces increases in [Ca2+]i in CHO-GHSR62 cells, with an EC50 of 2.4 nM.
