Oxytocin receptors in rat hippocampal synaptic plasma membranes were compared with mammary gland and uterine oxytocin receptors. For this purpose, a highly specific oxytocic agonist [Thr4,Gly7]oxytocin was tritiated. We demonstrated that this ligand labels oxytocin receptors selectively. Scatchard analyses revealed

The aim of the study was to computer-dock selected ligands to neurophyseal receptors in order to identify amino acid residues responsible for ligand-receptor interactions. To this aim, reliable oxytocin receptor (OTR) and arginine-vasopressin receptor (V1aR/V2R) models were built. The OTR-selective

The functional characteristics of binding sites for the neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) detected by radioautography in laminae I and II of the dorsal horn (DH) and on cultured neonatal DH neurons were studied on the latter using perforated patch-clamp recordings. The
