Protein name Oxytocin-neurophysin 1 (OT-NPI) [Cleaved into: Oxytocin (Ocytocin); Neurophysin 1]
Protein function Neurophysin 1 specifically binds oxytocin.; Oxytocin causes contraction of the smooth muscle of the uterus and of the mammary gland. Acts by binding to oxytocin receptor (OXTR) (PubMed:18174156).
