The neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) regulates rodent, primate and human social behaviors and
stress responses. OT binding studies employing 125 Id (CH 2) 5-[Tyr (Me) 2, Thr 4, Tyr-NH 2 …

Serotonin (5-HT) and oxytocin (OXT) are two neuromodulators involved in human affect and
sociality and in disorders like depression and autism. We asked whether these chemical …

Using two different coimmunoprecipitation strategies as well as bioluminescence resonance
energy transfer (BRET) techniques, we determined that the human oxytocin receptor forms …

The oxytocin receptor (OXTR), encoded by the OXTR gene, is responsible for the signal
transduction after binding its ligand, oxytocin. Although this signaling is primarily involved in …

The oxytocin receptor (OTR) and the β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) are key regulators of
uterine contraction. These two receptors are targets of tocolytic agents used to inhibit pre …

Oxytocin (OXT) has drawn increasing attention as a developmentally relevant neuropeptide
given its role in the brain regulation of social behavior. It has been suggested that OXT plays …

A library of compounds targeted to the vasopressin/oxytocin family of receptors was
screened for activity at a cloned human oxytocin receptor using a reporter gene assay …

Humans are fundamentally social creatures who are 'motivated'to be with others. In this
review we examine the role of oxytocin (OT) as it relates to social motivation. OT is …

Recent studies suggest that oxytocin (OXT) may be important for organising the neural
circuitry that underlies adult social behaviour. Although most of the work exploring these …

[Extract] Oxytocin, a nine amino acid neuropeptide, first discovered by Sir Heury Dale in
1906, is a potent modulator of a variety of brain functions including emotions, mood, social …
