Product Overview
Oxytocin is a 9-amino acid peptide hormone produced in the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus and released from the posterior pituitary gland1). Oxytocin promotes uterine contraction and breast milk secretion, as well as being involved in stress relief and the activation of maternal behavior, so it is often referred to as the happiness hormone or the love hormone2). "Anti Oxytocin, Guinea Pig" is a guinea pig polyclonal antibody that reacts with Oxytocin3).
