Fig. 5 Oxytocin immunohistochemistry in the cerebellum and the Mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus. a . Oxytocin immunoreactivity was found in fibers in the cerebellar white matter and to some extend in the granular cell layer. No oxytocin positivity was observed in the Purkinje cell layer (PC) or the molecular layer. Insert: a low magnification image of cerebellar lobes. X indicates where the large magnificat... View More

Product Specific Information
Reconstitute in 50 µL sterile water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. It is recommended that a thawed sample is stored at 4 °C for no longer than 2 weeks. Allocation of appropriate anti-bacterial agent can increase shelf life by several weeks. Diluted serum should be prepared as required. Long term stability requires storage, preferably in small aliquots at -20 °C or lower. Glycerol (1:1) can be added to neat serum for additional stability if intended use does not prevent this.
Target Information
There are two proteins encoded by this gene, oxytocin and neurophysin I. Oxytocin is posterior pituitary hormone which is synthesized as an inactive precursor in the hypothalamus along with its carrier protein neurophysin I. Together with neurophysin, it is packaged into neurosecretory vesicles and transported axonally to the nerve endings in the neurohypophysis, where it is either stored or secreted into the bloodstream. The precursor seems to be activated while it is being transported along the axon to the posterior pituitary. This hormone contracts smooth muscle during parturition and lactation. It is also involved in cognition, tolerance, adaptation and complex sexual and maternal behaviour, as well as in the regulation of water excretion and cardiovascular functions.
