A two-dimensional structural diagram of oxytocin (OXT), a cyclic nonapeptide hormone and neuropeptide used in biochemistry and endocrinology. The peptide backbone with multiple amide linkages is shown, including an intramolecular disulfide bridge (S–S) between two cysteine residues that forms the cyclic ring. Atoms are color-coded: carbon gray, nitrogen blue, oxygen red, hydrogen white, and sulfur orange. As a signaling molecule within the neuroendocrine hierarchy, it modulates uterine contraction, milk ejection, and social-affiliative behaviors.
