Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 5020
Gene name Oxytocin/neurophysin I prepropeptide
Gene symbol OXT
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
OTOT-NPIOXT-NPI
Chromosome 20
Chromosome location 20p13
Summary This gene encodes a precursor protein that is processed to produce oxytocin and neurophysin I. Oxytocin is a posterior pituitary hormone which is synthesized as an inactive precursor in the hypothalamus along with its carrier protein neurophysin I. Togeth
