Oxytocin acetate salt is an Oxytocin receptor activator. Oxytocin, a nonapeptide hormone, is known best for stimulating social memory and attachment, sexual and maternal behavior, aggression. Oxytocin acetate salt is involved in uterine contraction and lactation. Oxytocin acetate salt has also been observed participating in various non-social behaviors, such as learning, anxiety, feeding, and pain perception.
