HiTSeeker OTR Cell Line

Oxytocin receptors are a type of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that bind to the hormone oxytocin. Oxytocin receptors are essential for mediating the effects of oxytocin on various physiological and behavioral processes related to social bonding, reproduction, and emotional regulation. Research into oxytocin signaling continues to shed light on its complex role in human biology and behavior. Oxytocin receptors appear in various tissues throughout the body, including the brain, uterus, mammary glands, and other organs. When oxytocin binds to its receptors, it triggers a cascade of intracellular signaling events that ultimately influence physiological and behavioral responses. In the brain, oxytocin signaling plays role with trust, empathy, social recognition, pair bonding, and maternal behavior. In the reproductive system, oxytocin receptors mediate uterine contractions during childbirth and milk ejection (letdown) during breastfeeding. HiTSeeker OTR Cell Line from Innoprot allows the measurement of the activity and potency of ligands; such as Oxytocin.
