Description
Oxytocin is a cyclic nonapeptide hormone with a wide spectrum of reproductive and social effects in mammals, ranging from uterine contractions and lactation to affiliative behaviour and parenting. With the exception of cartilaginous fishes, the amino acid sequence of oxytocin in vertebrates is highly conserved, with relatively few changes over the course of 400 Myr.

About TFA salt
Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a common counterion from the purification process using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The presence of TFA can affect the peptide's net weight, appearance, and solubility.
Impact on Net Weight: The TFA salt contributes to the total mass of the product. In most cases, the peptide content constitutes >80% of the total weight, with TFA accounting for the remainder.
Solubility: TFA salts generally enhance the solubility of peptides in aqueous solutions.
In Biological Assays: For most standard in vitro assays, the residual TFA levels do not cause interference. However, for highly sensitive cellular or biochemical studies, please be aware of its presence.
