Abstract
The oxytocin receptor (OXTR) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) involved in the modulation of various signaling biological processes. Although its function was initially linked only to its role in the induction of labor and breastfeeding, its role in several other processes has recently been raised, specifically with regard to its potential use as a pharmacological target. OXTR agonis…
