What Is Oxytocin?
Oxytocin is a short peptide, just nine amino acids in length, produced in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary. It is also produced by the placenta, ovaries, and testes. Like many peptide hormones, oxytocin starts out life as a much larger precursor molecule that is subsequently cleaved to create the active hormone. Interestingly, oxytocin has also been found to be produced in the retina, the adrenal glands, and thymus, and the pancreas. Though oxytocin is generally regarded as a neurohypophysial hormone, this thinking is increasingly being thought of as outdated as the potential effects of the peptide increase to include a number of different tissues.
