CAS 50-56-6: oxytocin
Description:Oxytocin is a peptide hormone and neuropeptide composed of nine amino acids, classified as a nonapeptide. It is produced in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland. Oxytocin plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including childbirth, lactation, and social bonding. It is often referred to as the "love hormone" due to its involvement in promoting trust, empathy, and emotional connections between individuals. The chemical structure of oxytocin includes a cyclic disulfide bond, which contributes to its stability and function. In addition to its reproductive roles, oxytocin has been studied for its potential effects on anxiety, stress, and social behavior. Its CAS number, 50-56-6, is a unique identifier used to provide a standardized reference for this compound in chemical databases. Oxytocin can be administered therapeutically, particularly in obstetrics to induce labor or control postpartum hemorrhage, and is also being explored for its potential in treating various psychological conditions.
