Okay, this is for a school project that I'm doing, and it's due tomorrow, so make this top priority to answer! I'm basically doing artwork for my project, but the paper is going to be folded in half, and I need to know the measurements stat! Follow.
Oxytocin injection is a sterile aqueous solution of highly purified oxytocic principle derived by synthesis or obtained from the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland of healthy domestic animals used for food by humans. Oxytocin injection contains 20 USP Units of oxytocin and less than 0.4 units of presser activity per mL. Each mL of sterile solution also contains 0.9% w/v sodium chloride, 0.5% w/v chlorobutanol (as a preservative), with water for injection q.s. and pH adjusted to 3.0 to 5.0 with acetic acid.
Summary. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor family and acts as a receptor for oxytocin. Its activity is mediated by G proteins which activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system.The oxytocin-oxytocin receptor system plays an important role in the uterus during parturition. The relations between OXTR and loneliness were examined, as well as interactions between OXTR and sex, parental support, 5-HTTLPR genotype, and DRD2 genotype. 2  Initial evidence that the capacity to respond to suggestions for altered internal experience (hypnosis) is influenced by the oxytocin receptor gene.
