Amino Acid Sequence
β-Mercapto-β,β-Cyclopentamethylenepropionyl-MeTyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Orn-Gly-NH2 [Disulfide Bridge: 1-6]
Application
[β-Mercapto-β,β-cyclopentamethylenepropionyl1, O-Me-Tyr2, Orn8]-Oxytocin has been used as an oxytocin receptor antagonist:
- to study the influence of blockading the oxytocin receptors in the anterior cingulate cortex on helping behavior
- to determine the receptors that mediate vasopressin-stimulated anion secretion across cultured porcine vas deferens epithelial cell monolayers
- to study the influence of oxytocin receptors inhibition on intravenous and in situ oxytocin effects on the urinary bladder and cardiovascular activities in sham rats
Biochem/physiol Actions
Potent oxytocin antagonist.
