TRC-00610 | Oxytocin ELISA Kit | 96 Well
Product Overview
A competitive ELISA kit for the quantitative measurement of Oxytocin in serum, Plasma, Saliva, Clarified Milk, and Tissue Culture Media
Oxytocin is a neurohypophysial peptide which is produced in the paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary. The molecule consists of nine amino acids linked with a [1-6] disulfide bond and a semi-flexible carboxyamidated tail. A hormone once thought to be limited to female smooth muscle reproductive physiology and neurotransmitter, recent studies have begun to investigate oxytocin’s role in various behaviors, including orgasm, social recognition, pair bonding, anxiety, and maternal behaviors and is important in male reproductive physiology. Oxytocin and the related neurohypophysial peptide, Arg8-Vasopressin, maintain renal water and sodium balance. 96Trace’s Oxytocin ELISA kit is a competitive ELISA assay for the quantitative measurement of Oxytocin in extracted serum and plasma, or in urine, extracted dried fecal samples, and tissue culture media samples.
Applications
This ELISA kit is used for quantitative measurement of human total Oxytocin in extracted serum, Plasma, Saliva, Clarified Milk, and Tissue Culture Media
