| Bioactivity | Pro8-Oxytocin TFA is a a modified oxytocin (OXT) ligand. Pro8-Oxytocin produces more potent and efficacious responses at primate OXTR and stronger behavioral effects than the consensus mammalian OXT ligand (Leu8-Oxytocin). Pro8-Oxytocin TFA produce a less efficacious response than Vasopressin (HY-B1811) (AVP) at human AVPR1a and higher efficacious response than AVP at marmoset AVPR1a[1]. |
